An Ode to Floats and Their Connection to Deflection

There were so many great projects in Handwoven November/December 2021. We asked for deflection and our designers delivered. I asked Madelyn van der Hoogt to review the drafts and cloth and describe the source of the deflection for each of the projects.

Christine Jablonski's Reflecting Pool Bed Runner, Marcia Kooitra's Honeycomb Throw, and Angela Schneider's Sawtooth Stripe Pillows each use a different weave structure that causes deflection.
