These
books evolved from the need for an instruction manual for beginners
who wished to learn NZ Maori korowai (cloak)
weaving techniques. They are a spiral bound A4 format booklet with
many colour photos making them user friendly and useful for anyone
who wishes to know more about the skills in korowai weaving.
