Crafters will enjoy a collection of new, little-known weaving techniques and enticing projects that inspire and teach. Author Karen Caron begins with an overview of chainmail weaving basics to lay the groundwork for the more complex techniques described here. She explains more “advanced” techniques such as closing weaves, working with micro rings and templates, and using alternative materials. The book is divided into 4 parts, each of which is dedicated to one type of weaving: new Persian weaving, elven technique, hybrid weaving, working with templates (this type of technique gives a striking effect when applied to traditional wire weaving). Throughout all the detailed illustrated step-by-step instructions for each type of weaving, Karen shares her "secret" techniques that help to achieve excellent results.
