The first book on how to create handwoven passementerie (ornamental fringe, tassels, braid, piping, and more) using widely available materials In this hands-on introduction to one of the rarest of textile crafts, artist and designer Ashdown combines her mastery of the centuries-old skills with a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic.

For beginner and intermediate weavers; requires only a simple frame loom, like those commonly sold by craft retailers . Additional audiences include fashion/clothing-focus crafters, textile artists, embroiderers, and knitters AUTHOR: Elizabeth Ashdown, one of only a few professional passementerie artists working in the UK today, has been credited with reinvigorating this endangered heritage craft. She combines the centuries-old skills with a contemporary aesthetic to create acclaimed artworks. Her master classes in passementerie have a long waiting list, and her work has been featured in publications such as Embroidery Magazine, Pom Pom Quarterly, Crafts Magazine, The Textile Eye, Selvedge, Living Etc, and Homes & Gardens.
