Tablet Weaving in Theory and Practice: Golden Diagonals is an exploration of medieval brocaded tablet woven orphreys, decorative bands found on certain types of vestment. It describes 8 different extant objects spanning from the 11th century to the 14th century, with a total of 78 individual designs ranging from 8 to 80 tablets wide, each accompanied by a colour photograph of how it will appear when woven. Golden Diagonals is intended for weavers who already know the basic techniques of tablet weaving and would like to learn new patterns, but a list of resources is given at the back for those who wish to improve their skills or find out more about the art of tablet weaving.
