M's + O's - A contemporary look at a traditional weave structure on 4 shafts

by Suzi Ballenger

M's + O's is a technical manual dedicated to one of weaving's most underexplored structures. Designed to inspire handweavers and expand creative possibilities, this book combines pattern analysis, practical guidance, and project-based learning to reveal the versatility of M's & O's.

As the first book in an ongoing series exploring this structure, M's + O's offers a fresh, contemporary approach to understanding and designing with this often-overlooked pattern. Through six projects and detailed analysis, readers are encouraged to move beyond established patterns, develop their design skills, and discover solutions they may not have thought possible.

Whether used as a technical reference, a design resource, or a source of inspiration, M's + O's invites weavers to see familiar structures in new ways and explore the creative potential hidden within them.
