Happy ruby anniversary to Handwoven!
Imagine this: the perfect day of weaving, when everything that could go right does go right.
We are super-pleased to debut our latest video project with Tom Knisely. A regular contributor to Handwoven magazine, Tom has also taught beginning weaving, rug weaving, how to care for your loom, and a variety of other topics.
Want to weave a shawl that shimmers and shines? Look no farther than Nancy Dunlap’s delightful Fusion Sparkle Shawl from the January/February 2019 issue of Handwoven.
Deflected doubleweave is a delightful, versatile structure. You can use it to weave up circles, flowers, and even bubbles. When she wanted to weave a scarf inspired by the beautiful mosaics she saw in Spain, Anu Bhatia turned to deflected doubleweave.
Sometimes a project is based on a vision of the finished piece. Other times, I simpy fall in love with a skein and build a project around its best features.
For some reason, as soon as the weather starts to get cold, I see people all over the internet rejoicing about sweater weather.
Here is a dilemma: I have inherited several cones of two different yarns and would like to make a table runner, but I'm not confident in how to approach it.
I am weaving a small table runner using 3/2 pearl cotton for warp and weft (red and green in the warp, white in the weft). I used a draft (#479, page 129) from Carol Strickler's A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns, which I've modified a little.

Remembering my own progress in learning to weave, I conceived of Loom Theory: Eight and Over Eight Scarf Collection to help other weavers progress in their own weaving careers. Like many weavers, I started weaving on 4-shaft looms.
