Twill Thrills: The Best of Weaver’s (Best of Weaver's series) Paperback – August 1, 2004

Excellent book that belongs in every weaver's library.

I have had this book from Amazon's first offering. Weaver's magazine has ceased publication over 14 years ago. Their articles are still very out there for weaving 8 shafts or more. The complex weaves really stoked me up to learn more about the weaves. I have a weaver friend that admired my collection of Weavers magazines so I thought this book would give her a challenge to weave more complex weaves on her newly acquired 8 shaft loom.

I've been weaving on and off for more than 12 years, without really getting "caught" by weaving fever. Until I got this book. Now I really understand so much more than I did before and have been weaving regularly. It is well written with great illustrations and pictures. There is enough information here that you could weave nothing but twills and be busy for years. It gave me a whole new appreciation of twills, rather than thinking it was pretty much a "starter" weave pattern. I would recommend this book to every weaver I know.

Compilation of articles from defunct magazine. Easier to look up, but it would help if the original magazine issue and date ware noted.

As an advanced beginner weaver who loves twills this was a good buy. I liked how the projects are organized in a progression of twill theory starting with straight-draw and ending with networking and beyond. The majority of patterns presented were for 8-shafts or less while the more advanced imagery multiplied them exponentially. It's fun to see what more shafts can do for you. My only criticism is I hoped for more patterns in traditional twill. I would buy this again!

Gorgeous drafts in this book. Waited a long time to find my copy. Happy to have found it here.

Twill is one of the more popular weave structures. If you have any interest in twills and if you don't you should this is the book you ahousjl have on your shelf. This book was out of print for a while and it is just back, get it before you miss out.

I was eager to read the articles about network drafting and about advancing twills. They are perfect for me and will help me to go further on my weavin path.
