Weaving Sámi Bands with 11, 13, 15 and 17 Pattern Threads
Weaving Sámi Bands with 11, 13, 15 and 17 Pattern Threads
by Susan J. Foulkes
Nobody knows bands like Susan Foulkes! Sámi bands are her specialty. This little book will unlock the mysteries of weaving more complicated Sámi bands. One all-important trick: her blank pattern draft, included in this book. Each band project includes a color photo, easy-to-read warping order grid, and a graphed pattern design. Susan Foulkes's clear instructions make this a must-have resource for the serious band weaver.
If you're looking for a more entry-level book, I highly recommend Susan Foulkes's Sámi Band Weaving book that starts you out on Sámi bands with fewer pattern threads.
And when you're ready for THE treasure trove of Sámi band patterns make sure to check out these rare books published by the Sámi Handicraft Foundation in Sweden:
