Create beautiful garments, accessories, and homewares on a simple two shaft loom with renowned weaving teacher and author Rowena Hart. In this inspiring revised edition, Rowena guides you step-by-step through the process of designing and weaving your own unique creations with confidence and creativity.

Discover a world of colour, texture, and pattern as you explore a range of decorative techniques including Brooks Bouquet, soumak, huck, and superfine weaving using the second heddle kit. With clear instructions, practical guidance, and inspiring projects throughout, this book is ideal for weavers wanting to expand their skills and explore the full versatility of Ashford’s two shaft looms, including the Rigid Heddle and Knitters Looms.

We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy.  Hand-dyed yarns vary from one skein to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein. 

We highly recommend getting enough yarn for your project. To encourage this, you can exchange extra skeins if they are in their original condition, thus ensuring your project will have consistency. We dye in small, project sized batches, and don’t have dye lots.

Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality, even within a batch dyed at the same time. This gives final objects depth and nuance. 

With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
