Smayda shares the details of her own learning experiences with numerous ondulé warps in a variety of fibers. More than 180 color photos show more also feature stunningly beautiful work by five other contemporary and two twentieth-century weavers, plus intriguing historic Japanese textiles. Also included are sections on weft ondulé, designing a fan or hybrid reed, and the thought processes behind twenty-one of the featured projects, including drafts.
