from the middle of that boom in weaving of the early 1970s, this is one of the best basic books on the topic of card weaving. Candace covers history (there have been sets of tablets with weaving on them found in ancient Egypian tombs and Norse bogs), practical setup, and onward into advanced techniques. There was an edition that came with a starter-pack of cards back in the day; these days go look on ebay or google up the TWIST gang of tablet weaving afficionados for cards, which are plentiful and cheap (or make a set from a new pack of squared off playing cards). Four (or six) harness weaving in its simplest--by which I mean most easily accessible to begin--form! ( )
