Peg Loom Weaving: All you need to know to get started
First published in 2012 when we made Peg Looms and exhibited at national Craft Fairs, this has now been updated with more reference sources and a new cover.
Assuming you are not an expert, it covers basic principles of how to set it up, materials you can use, and ideas for your own piece of textile art.

Felt Making: All you need to know to get started
A companion book to Peg Loom Weaving, it goes through basic principles of wet felting and the process to make a piece of felted fabric.
No special equipment is needed, just a worktop, some plastic sheet or bubble-wrap and hot soapy water. The power source is basically "your elbow"!

This is aimed at small firms with little or no in-house expertise in managing risks, and is based on a Check List approach. The cover picture shows window cleaners abseiling down the front of the Blue Tower in Malta - presumably having done their own risk assessment! A new updated version has been commissioned by publishers Taylor Francis so this one will no longer be available after the autumn 2023.
