Two Savory Towels for the Riqid-Heddle Loom

摘要

In the late 1970s, I was taking my first steps in weaving on a small rigid-heddle loom. There wasn't much information available for rigid-heddle weaving, and, of course, no Internet, YouTube, or chat groups. When Betty Davenport published Textures and Patterns for the Rigid Heddle Loom in 1980,I felt that she had opened a golden door for exploring the potential of my loom. Today, rigid-heddle weavers have many useful books, magazines, and digital materials, but as valuable as all these resources are, we still owe a debt of gratitude to Davenport for her pioneering, inspiring work.
