This volume would be great to use as the text in a year long (or more) study group. Through a large number of samplers, you learn different techniques and structures for creating pictures and designs in weft faced cloth. Think tapestry and rugs - almost any piece of woven cloth that doesn't need drape or be pliable. Plain weave, twills, twills on opposites, Krokbragd, point twills, taqueté, samitum and more are included in this large volume. There are many, many diagrams, designs and drafts. Woven examples are shown for the most part in color photographs. Hoskins doesn't leave any stone unturned in this exhaustive study of weft faced weaves.
