We recommend The Handweaver’s Pattern Directory by Anne Dixon as the perfect companion for your Brooklyn Four Shaft Loom.
A comprehensive introduction to the tools, equipment, fibres, and yarns used with four-shaft looms.
This reference features patterns for 600 different weaves, including twill, zigzag, diamond, herringbone, and block. Colour photographs and large-scale drawings allow weavers to closely examine the details, and the compact size and lay-flat binding is convenient for keeping near the loom. A handbook that is essential for all four-shaft weavers, this manual includes weaving basics, specialised projects organised by degree of difficulty, finishing techniques, resources, and a glossary of terms.
