ISBN / SKU: 9780764353581

Ondulé Textiles: Weaving Contours with a Fan Reed is the first comprehensive book dedicated to ondulé weaving, a technique that uses curving warp threads to create flowing contours in woven textiles. Norma Smayda provides clear instruction, design guidance, and historical context for the fan reed—the essential tool behind ondulé weaving.

Featuring over 180 images, the book showcases contemporary and historical works, Japanese textiles, and detailed insight into 21 projects, including drafts and creative decision-making. Covering warp and weft ondulé as well as fan and hybrid reed design, this book is both a foundational reference and a source of inspiration.
