Helpful Links and Resources for this issue

COLOR NUGGETS TOWELS

Read what Véronique Perrot wrote previously about winding warps with multiple ends in hand (see p. 26).

GEMSTONE TABLE RUNNER

Sheila O’Hara’s Gemstone Table Runner shares most of its threading with her previous Dicey Dish Towels design (see p. 58). Hot tip: In this issue’s article about designing colorful cloth (see p. 18), Véronique Perrot says that Dicey Dish Towels is a good project for experimenting with smooth color transitions. If you don’t have 16 shafts at your disposal, search handweaving.net for a fancy twill that will work for you.

SUMMER DAY BAGS

For more turned taqueté, add Susan Poague’s very popular Circles and Checks Towels to your project list (see p. 46).

- An essay about dyeing using local wild-growing plants (see p. 72)
