Sara von Tresckow - "When A Single Harness Simply Isn't Enough" $34.95
A comprehensive work in English that includes several types of double harness looms and their operation. Rather than a collection of projects and patterns, it is meant as a guide to either acquiring a drewloom or modifying an existing loom to do double harness patterns when desired.
The section on designing is meant to provide weavers with tools to create interesting textiles on their own. Some minor errors have been discovered. Click here to link to the PDF errata file.

From the online shop at Vavstuga:
"Sara has put an incredible amount of work into this book. It gently holds the hand of anyone new to weaving on a drawloom, but also includes plenty of meaty material for the advanced weaver. The book includes a nice history of double harness techniques and discusses the mechanics of a wide range of equipment available today. You will find detailed setup instructions for a multitude of variations. Several wonderful combinations of weave structures are included at the back of the book, as well as various special methods for the selvages, which will be of great interest to advanced weavers. This book is a must-have for any drawloom weaver, along with theDress Your Swedish Drawloom video from Vävstuga Press."
