Marguerite Porter Davison’s pattern collection brings together designs associated with early 20th-century American weaving, from basic twills to overshot and irregular patterns. Each design is accompanied by treadlings and visual examples; the description notes more than 1,200 woven illustrations across the book. Textile history, black-and-white photographs, and a yarn comparison chart add reference material alongside the patterns. The range of designs and supporting information makes this a practical resource for exploring weave structures and comparing pattern possibilities on a four-harness loom.

Book overview

Pick the perfect pattern every time!

Sought after for nearly a century, A Handweaver's Pattern Book is the venerable compendium of weaving patterns found in early 20th century America by Marguerite Davison. Weavers of all experience levels can learn everything from basic twills to over-shot and irregular patterns.

Often hailed "the handweaver's bible," this collection of patterns is complemented with fascinating textile history and helpful black-and-white photos. Numerous treadlings, illustrated with over 1,200 weavings, accompany each design that inspire innovation for expert weavers as well as provide helpful information for weavers who have yet reached that level. Davison also includes a yarn comparison chart in this comprehensive and highly visual guide.

Perfect for both commercial and home weavers, this extensive handbook of strikingly diverse patterns will keep any four-harness weaver busy for years to come!
