The plain-weave Chanuka Placemats use an 8-shaft point threading to facilitate the inlay process. You can set the table with plain old placemats, but these really set the stage for the 8 nights of Chanuka.
After my son was born (and even for a while before then), I found myself in a weaving rut. Then I fell in love with a special yarn and knew it would be the basis for my next project.
Last year a parliament of owls stopped by some trees near the office. Weavers and birds have a lot in common. Don’t believe me? Please allow me to elucidate.
I am new to this grand weaving adventure! However, I can not find any videos or good instructions about warping my sectional beam. Help!
A rigid-heddle pattern for napkins and a matching runner. It all adds up to a great weekend weaving project.

Because most of our readers are rigid-heddle or 4- or 8-shaft weavers, we don’t feature many projects in Handwoven that require more than 8 shafts. However, I found the 12-shaft Black Windows Pillow by Lea Vennix from Handwoven May/June 2018 compelling.
