Description

This full-color collection showcases 160 of Dr. William Bateman's innovative weaves, developed over 60 years ago. Featuring 408 color photos and draft diagrams, it provides intermediate to advanced-level weavers with a wealth of inspiration for experimenting with new techniques.

Dr. Bateman, a chemistry professor turned weaver, analyzed traditional patterns and extended them in unique directions. This book brings together his original designs, along with many previously unpublished samples, allowing today's weavers to explore his out-of-the-box thinking on their own looms.

The drafts are organized into weave groups, ranging from those based on traditional structures like twill or overshot, to the one-of-a-kind new weaves Bateman invented. With this comprehensive guide, you can experiment with his innovations and discover new possibilities in your weaving practice.
