Title: A Manual of Fingerweaving
Product review: For the average person who wants to learn the basics of fingerweaving, I suggest getting another book. This one has some interesting old photos and pays homage to the weavers of the past, but the actual instructions on the weaving techniques are not nearly clear enough. Trying to weave a belt on a first try would be far too daunting.In comparison, the book FINGERWEAVING BASICS by Gerald Findley (ISBN NO. 1-929572-0805) has extremely clear diagrams beginning with the easiest pattern and moving through the more complicated ones. It's not as easy as it looks, so begin with a thick yarn or a good quality, heavy, cotton garden twine that doesn't unravel easily. Practice on some small pieces to get the hang of it. Then use acrylic or wool yarns, but avoid fluffy, soft or thin yarns when learning to do this craft.
