Free Crafting Books: Weaving, Woodworking, Needlepoint and More

As avid crafters ourselves we thought it would be fun to catalog a page of free crafting books. As the list grows we will expand the categories but for now we have free book lists for woodworking, weaving, needlework and then a miscellaneous crafting book category. This is a human made and managed list so please let us know if a link dies. Since we are located in the United States the list is based of U.S. copyright laws.
