Weaving Designs

source

Weavers, if you're looking for some inspiration for weaving designs, look no further than The Large Book of Textile Designs by Frank Donat that is available free online.

It was scanned by Ralph Griswold and is available at the On-Line Digital Archive of Documents on Weaving and Related Topics - link provided above.

The designs could also be helpful for Fair Isle knitters.

More information and documents can be found here on the University of Arizona website.
