Rugs Editorial Review

**** The "Braiding with Barbara™ Wool Rug" book has garnered a generally positive reception, especially among newcomers to rug braiding and enthusiasts looking to refine their skills. With its excellent illustrations and meticulously detailed, step-by-step directions, readers have found it to be an invaluable resource for learning the art of braided rug making. The author, Barbara Fisher, has created a work that many praise for its clarity and comprehensive approach, making it easier for beginners to understand a craft that can often appear daunting. Users have particularly appreciated the book’s innovative method for creating visually appealing concentric ringed rugs, a welcome departure from the more traditional spiral designs, which can present challenges when finishing. Additionally, the photography and layout are generally seen as significant upgrades compared to her earlier publications, making the learning experience enjoyable and engaging. While many customers laud the book for its resources on color selection and detailed tutorials, there are some critiques regarding the limited range of patterns offered. Some readers expressed a desire for instructions on creating various rug shapes beyond the main focus, which seems to be concentric rings. Nonetheless, the valuable tips and additional instructions for crafting related projects, such as “ruggies” slippers, showcase the breadth of Barbara Fisher’s expertise. Overall, "Braiding with Barbara™ Wool Rug" stands out as an essential guide for beginners while also serving as a beneficial reference for seasoned braiders. Those searching for a comprehensive resource that blends practicality with artistic inspiration will likely find this book a worthy addition to their crafting library. **
