There are many introductory weaving books out there. Two good ones are Rachel Brown's The Weaving, Spinning and Dying Book, which has a little bit on everything, easily read and practically organized, and Mary Black's New Key to Weaving. There are probably newer books out there, but these have what you'd need, and are likely to be easily found on Alibris.com or Amazon.com. If you're interested in pattern weaving, two excellent books on patterns are Marguerite Porter Davison's classic A Handweavers Pattern Book, and Anne Dixon's The Handweavers Pattern Directory. If you get stuck, feel free to e-mail me and I'll be happy to try to answer your questions.
