Since her first book debuted in 2016, both Moodie and weaving have continued to grow in popularity. In Maryanne Moodie’s Modern Weaver, there is a wealth of information focused on color theory, designed to help readers better select their own palettes for their custom creations. With detailed instructions and photography for each project, this book is both beautiful and informative. And with projects that explore gradients and ombre effects, as well as advice on how to tackle even the boldest of color choices, there’s enough to keep even the most advanced weavers engaged. Weaving came back in style a few of years ago, and it’s clear the trend isn't going away any time soon.

Her projects are accessible no matter your skill level, and her exploration of color theory gives more depth to the projects. Modern Weaver delivers the well-designed projects makers are looking for, ranging from wall hangings to pillow covers, keychains to laptop sleeves to framed art, and that will have them weaving in no time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to identify handmade rugs using techniques employed by experts without having years of experience! If you want a more in depth understanding of how experts identify rugs, then this eBook is what you’ve been searching for. But first a warning, this eBook is not for everyone. There are many fine books which address history, geography and designs; but they omit an important factor which experts rely on for identification – the specific weave pattern found on the back of the rug. If you wish to go beyond a cursory understanding of rugs, this is the eBook for you. The Art of Oriental Rugs – A Weaver’s Perspective presents an insider-look which examines what is a weave, what causes it, and how to recognize it. This work is the result of examining hundreds of pieces through three years of intensive research. This is the first extended toolkit of its kind to demonstrate different Persian (rugs woven in the country of Iran) weaves based on their region and explore why they look the way they do. The goal is to establish generally accepted weave patterns attributed to each rug-weaving region in Iran. It is more than just samples from Iran however, it also includes pieces from Caucasus, Turkey, China, Turkmen and others. • With 1800+ pages it provides ample opportunity for an in-depth examination of weaves and many samples to aid in identification. • Depending on your level of interest, you can go as deep as you wish in understanding why weaves look the way they do on the back of each rug. • Although this work can be viewed on smaller screens, to be able to properly examine pictures including characteristics unique to each piece, it is intended for larger screens (8 inch or larger). It includes 500+ pictures of rugs woven in Iran (Persian) which are available in the market today. It includes 750+ closeup pictures of weaves from the backs of rugs from 170+ weaving regions around the world, including Iran (Persian), Caucasus, Turkey, China, Turkmen and others. This will aid in identifying rug origins. It also includes maps of each region with the different weaving types to help better understand how the regions use similar/different weaving techniques.
