But get this (Collingwood's) book if you think you'll pursue this fibercraft further.This review is for the hardcover 2015 reprint version of Peter Collingwood's "The Techniques of Tablet Weaving". The book was purchased in new condition and fulfilled by Amazon.CONS - The pages are not "high quality" (more "average quality") but they are thinner possibly to reduce the size and weight of the book. The photos are faded and somewhat grainy but you can still manage to see the point they are trying to convey.PROS - The hardcover cover itself is good quality. The text and drawn diagrams are crisp and clear. And there are a LOT of photos and diagrams.The book begins with the known (at the time of original publication) history of tablet weaving. Because Collingwood was able to work with fibercrafters as well as museum personnel he had access to a wide range of information. In addition to showing historical techniques, he also shows his own experiments with tablet weaving. Text, photos, and diagrams enable readers to replicate (almost?) all of it. There is a great deal of technical information and it is presented well. Collingwood includes important aspects of tablet weaving such as how to make a continuous warp and how to thread multiple cards (tablets) at the same time. He covers the possible orientations of the cards and the different ways they can be manipulated during weaving.This book is appropriate for the tablet weaver who wants a better understanding of WHY tablet weaving works and how to expand on the basic "turn forward" "turn backward". It gives plenty of new techniques to try with tablet weaving. A beginner theoretically could learn to tablet weave from this book, but it would be challenging. However, once a beginner has learned the basics (from another book) this book is a wonderful resource for tips and tricks that are useful for tablet weavers of all levels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners but awesome reference. ... *by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017* This is an excellent reference time history of tablet weaving. As other reviewers have said, this is not a book looking for how to start out tablet or card weaving. However, if you are looking for techniques it is any excellent source. Mr. Collingwood did a great job with historical references and how to use and design using more then just a four hole tablet to weave with.There is only one thing I have to complain about with this book. That is the fact when you are reading and it makes a reference to a particular picture or plate number that they are on the same page as the reference. It gets a little madding to have to hunt the referenced picture down to see what the writing was talking about.Overall very good book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Buy two - one to keep and one to loan out! *by B***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017* Comprehensive and informative. It was recommended by a friend and she was stunned to find it was back in print at a reasonable price! The hardcover is high-quality and will last a long time. Because it is a reprint of a lower-budget 1980's book, be prepared for lots of black and white pictures and hand drawings, but they are still very informative and convey the desired information well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19194062-the-techniques-of-tablet-weaving-paperback-illustrated-september-4-2015](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/19194062-the-techniques-of-tablet-weaving-paperback-illustrated-september-4-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
