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.
When Judith Shangold told me she wanted to weave a shawl using the hatching technique, I was intrigued—and a little worried. Hatching is a traditional tapestry technique, and when I think tapestry, I don’t think of fine shawls with great drape.
Looking for a project that is sure to impress on just 8-shafts and 10 treadles? Look no further than Bonnie Inouye’s spectacular Jin Silk Scarf.
There are very few times in my life I’ve wished I had a loom with more than 8 shafts. One of those times was when I first saw Nancy Dunlap’s astoundingly beautiful Majestic Royal Scarf from the November/December 2018 Handwoven.
I'm having a warp tension problem. After weaving a while, the edge warp threads are very tight and the center very loose, but all were even when I started.
Why do my selvedge threads loosen as I weave?
Here are some Hanukkah crafts you can do with yarn.
Sarah Wroot’s working title for her Spin Off Winter 2019 article started as “The Cassimere Project” but became “The Cassimere Insanity.”
My approach to weaving a perfect scarf is often a lot like my approach to cooking. I make a list of the best qualities of my ingredients—either food or yarn. Next, I think about how to prepare them to highlight rather than hide these attributes.
I have just wound a warp that took way too long to wind and I'm wondering if there is a better way.
Laura Fry’s Silk Wall of Troy 8-shaft scarf from Handwoven Loom Theory: Eight and Over Eight Scarf Collection is the perfect project for when you want to relax at the loom and still produce something spectacular.
I was immediately smitten with Laura Fry’s Wall of Troy 16-shaft scarf in silk. Woven in robin’s egg blue, this scarf is the epitome of elegance.
