Many weavers draw from nature for inspiration, and the Reader’s Gallery weavers were no exception.
Looking to end 2020 on the upswing, I decided to choose this group of scarves and shawls based on joyful colors!
Clearly the pandemic has changed our lives, and for many weavers, it has also changed their weaving.
As I was reading contributors’ messages I noticed a common theme: love.
I sit in the lucky position of seeing the many beautiful scarves and shawls submitted to our Reader’s Gallery. Here are just a few.
Robin Wilton and Susan Du Bois put together a few different things they learned from Handwoven to design some very special scarves.
The word sampler brings to mind a pretty framed embroidery. My first weaving sampler was anything but pretty.
It's hard to please everyone all the time, but I think you will agree with me that this is a beautiful collection of 4-shaft handwoven scarves.
Handwoven Loom Theory: 8-Shaft Scarf Collection is not just a celebration of weaving and complex designs, but also of fine yarns—silk, wool, lyocell, and linen—from well-loved yarn companies.
Pattie Graver wove her Blending This and That Scarves for the January/February issue of Handwoven using a subdued palette that would go with just about any outfit.
Random design is a fascinating concept, but well-designed is also wonderful, and a good designer can do both. We didn’t randomly choose designers for the three Loom Theory 2018 lookbooks.
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.
