The Weaver's book of 8-Shaft Patterns by Carol Strickler

The result is more than 25 different types of threadings explored and nearly 900 fabric samples with their drafts. Well-known weaves such as twill and twill-based, tied unit, and lace weaves are included, as well as less common ones such as diversified plain weave and piqué. If you're new to multishaft weaving, you'll find a whole new world of possibilities; if you're a seasoned weaver, you'll see new "what ifs" to explore on every page. You can skip through the book, picking and choosing drafts to try, or dig into a single weave and explore it in depth.
