A book for experienced weavers who want to explore multiple harness weaving. Learn the principles that allow you to create your own patterns.
Starting with rib and basket patterns, the reader sees how two harness weaves can be extended into 6, 8, 10 or 12 harness weaves ... whatever your loom size .. Ribs into Baskets ... Next, a thorough discussion of twills ... Twills, Twills, Twills!!!! Then you can explore block designing and what you can do with it as a multiple harness weaver.
What else is there ... Multiple layered weaves-backed cloth, double cloth, piques, bedford cord ... and techniques like center stitching, wadding. Now back to all the twills you couldn't do on four harnesses. Let's mix them up ... Sometimes it's fun to mix weaves provided you know the rules. Terms are well defined for easy understanding. Rules for designing your own weaves are clearly stated. Now in its third printing, MORE THAN FOUR is used throughout the world as a textbook at many well known art and textiles schools and universities.
