I am interested in making the Travel Shawl on page 32 of the May/June 2018 issue of Handwoven. Is there a way to convert the rigid-heddle draft for use on a 4- shaft table or floor loom?
I want to use some old project instructions that call for 10/2 unmercerized cotton for dishtowels. I can't seem to find any of that yarn in colors!
It's sometimes tricky to figure out the best way to use variegated yarn and other novelty yarn for weaving. Here's Madelyn van der Hoogt to help!
I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb regarding how a loom bench should be set up to prevent back problems?

For weft threads that interlace less often than in a balanced plain weave, the weft angle will need to be less steep. Experiment, following the steps outlined here until you find the angle that works.
I read the patterns for a project and one of the things that confuses me is, say you have a 12-dent reed and you are told to put two ends in a dent to make it 24 ends. Now what do you do with these when it comes to putting them through the heddles?
I have a question about an issue that is being discussed in my guild. Should you leave the lease sticks in the warp, behind the shafts, after you have finished threading?
I am new to this grand weaving adventure! However, I can not find any videos or good instructions about warping my sectional beam. Help!
I am planning a project from Handwoven's Design Collection 19. Instead of the 10/2 Tencel specified, I ordered 8/2 Tencel. Can I use this in place of the 10/2 and should I change the sett from 2 per dent in 12- dent reed to another reed or sleying order?
