Weaving for Beginners

Weaving for Beginners, now in its 4th edition, has been the technique bible for weavers of all levels for over a decade. From beginners to advanced weavers and teachers, this indispensable handbook and textbook is a must-have on every weaver’s bookshelf, or rather, always open on their desk. From back-to-front and front-to-back warping to reading and creating drafts, finishing techniques, and special knots, it is the how-to book you will keep using for decades.

Having Peggy’s books at your loom is like having a patient, knowledgeable teacher at your side.

Peggy Osterkamp, once an apprentice to renowned loommaker Jim Ahrens in a production weaving studio, has since introduced hundreds of students to the time-tested techniques of handweaving. She is a natural teacher with a knack for making the richness of her training and decades of experience accessible to all, a life-long textile scholar, and an artist who exhibits her work internationally.
