Fairly short book, the first 27 pages are devoted to basic weaving techniques on an Ashford rigid heddle loom. The rest of the book is given over to full-color samples of some fabrics which can be woven on a rigid heddle loom.
The examples are pretty but the book has mostly inspirational use.

It had some pretty fabrics, but didn't really teach me anything. ( )

Not the beginners hand loom guide I was really looking for, but inspirational colour combinations.
