The Techniques of Tablet Weaving
by Peter Collingwood<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Until now, it is still among the first three suggestions. It\u2019s been published more than 40 years ago, and remains the source to go to if you\u2019d like to understand how weaving works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Card Weaving
by Candace Crockett<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Many tablet weaving related publications are rather specific and include only basic instructions for weaving itself. For years, online instructions were also rather general, saying something like \u201cpick up the yarn and tablets and start weaving, everything will be great!\u201d If you need much more clear and simple instructions, Crockett\u2019s book is for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecclesiastical Pomp & Aristocratic Circumstance
by Nancy Spies<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To research a historical period of 1000 years is not an easy task, even limiting the scope to one specific type of textile art. Nancy Spies devoted five years of her life to researching the history of brocaded tablet weaving. Five years filled with gathering information, vast correspondence, frequent trips, drawings, diagrams, creating samples\u2026 The book produced as a result was described by Peter Collingwood in his preface as formidable<\/em> and astonishing<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unique text, published in 1931 in the annual journal of the Estonian National Museum, still remains the only detailed overview of tablet weaving traditions in Estonia (a few more focused research papers have been published since). The article, reprinted a year after the original journal, survives in a small number copies in libraries, reprints and scans of the article are passed from person to person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
