Kerstin Neumüller's new guide to weaving beautiful objects with small and simple tools is based on her own practice of simple methods of weaving.
Weaving is an exciting and increasingly popular craft that doesn’t have to involve gigantic looms. In Simple Weave, Kerstin Neumüller demonstrates how to weave accessible patterns with tools that are easy enough to make yourself or buy and are often small enough to fit in your pocket.

This simple but inspirational guide is for those who have never woven but are eager to try, as well as for experienced weavers interested in working with flexible and portable tools. Readers will earn how to make practical and beautiful keepsakes, including bands and bracelets, pencil and laptop cases and decorative wall ornaments.
Neumüller also shares simple woodworking techniques for making your own weaving tools, from making a frame loom and weave stretcher to carving a rigid heddle and, in an emergency, constructing one from cardboard.
