  The Techniques of Ply-Split Braiding

Author: Peter Collingwood

When the master speaks, listen. Peter Collingwood has mastered many facets of weaving and when he looks at braiding you know he will write the definitive work.

Ply-split braiding is a thread technique which is still too little known outside the sub-continent. This book is the first in-depth investigation of a technique which, due to its extremely localised distribution, has only recently come to be known by the rest of us. Collingwood delves deeply into the techniques of the craft. The book presents detailed practical instructions for the reader and offers beautiful examples. Almost no equipment is needed to begin ply-split braiding.
