Fingerweaving Untangled - Carol James
Fingerweaving Untangled: An Illustrated Beginner's Guide is a 64-page how-to book written and published by Manitoba fiber artist Carol James. Known as a weaver and teacher, Carol James has created a carefully written step-by-step manual for the beginner and the more advanced weaver. The technique of fingerweaving can be found in Haudenosaunee, Métis, Sami and other Indigenous cultures.
