To see the GENERAL CONTENT of this book, check the
book’s
TABLE OF CONTENTS on pages 4-5.
Some of the pages in the book are FLAGGED for quick reference. Look at
the side of the pages and you will see that some pages show a color at
the edge. Those are flags for: the Yarn Chart, Sett Chart, Basic Weaving
Terms, Definition of Weaving Terms, Glossary of Tools, Essential Loom
Parts and Definitions of Basic Loom Parts (standard and optional).
A DETAILED INDEX for this book was planned
from the beginning but, at the last minute, the publisher decided room
was too limited... better not to cut chapter content. So instead I have
include detailed indices on this web page which follows.
You may PRINT OUT these web page Indices
and keep these with the book for handy reference. That’s
what I do.
Another method: NOTE EACH NEW BOLDED
TERM in the book as it is presented, from front to back. These are presented
in order, each building understanding based on previous terms.
