Any weaver with an interest in boundweave will find value in this book. The clear, detailed instructions will guide new krokbragd weavers to success, and more experienced krokbragd weavers will find inspiration in Parker’s innovative use of material, color, and pattern. For me, the opportunity to see krokbragd anew through the eyes of an artist makes this a book worth adding to my weaving library
