Shielagh Tacey Handwoven

Marguerite Porter Davison‘s A Handweaver’s Pattern Book is a must have for all weavers.

I used this book endlessly when I was learning to weave and still use it as a reference when I begin projects. I also like the fact that due to the age of the book the patterns are in black and white and so it is up to the weaver to imagine colour effects. There are similar modern books but I don’t think anything else comes close.

A Handweaver’s Pattern Book is currently out of print, but can be bought second hand from Amazon.
