The beloved classic weaving book, now available to today’s modern weavers.
This 75th anniversary edition enables today’s weavers and future generations to enjoy and expand their weaving skills and design creativity. The classic by Marguerite Porter Davison offers weaving guidance, 377 drafts for four-harness loom weaving, and her timeless emphasis on weavers sharing their knowledge as a community.
The new edition replicates her original, hand-typeset 1951 book—which today’s weavers fondly term the “Green Book”—keeping the original’s nostalgic charm. Its valuable content is accompanied by updates, clarifications, and corrections, plus 1,249 all-new color photos of some of the many weaving patterns that can be produced from these drafts.
A new foreword helps weavers understand Davison’s far-reaching weaving impact. “About the Big Weave” explains the nationwide project by American weaving guilds and groups to reweave the 1,249 original patterns, as part of the community’s dedication to this new edition. Throughout, updated instructional notes are added to assist today’s weavers. Davison’s granddaughter, Caroline Cooley Browne, offers a new biography and family photos of Davison to reveal the person behind the classic.
New rising-shed format for all 377 patterns ’ tie-up diagrams, making them ready to use seamlessly with today’s most commonly used jack looms.
New color photos of all 1,249 newly woven patterns feature navy and natural to distinctly show details.
