Karen Donde loves lace in all its forms. Here she is to talk about lace weaving and the many lace choices, in honor of Madelyn van der Hoogt's newest video, Weaving Lace.
I don't know about you, but there's something about winter, especially the relentlessly cold winter found in February, that makes me want to weave with wool.
Some people seem to know what to do the first time. The rest of us, including Madelyn learn by the mistakes we make.
Rebecca Fox used partially filled bobbins of thread donated to her by fiber friends to weave a colorful set of towels.
Christina turned to Handwoven when she needed a recipe for a scarf for her husband.
Demonstrating gives me a chance to watch the eyes of the public as “the light goes on,” as they watch cloth appear out of threads.
Deflected doublweave can create some truly amazing designs, and then when you wet-finish, the threads shift and right angles become curves and crosses transform into flowers.
Yarn is both the weaver's best friend and our sometimes enemy. When we use it correctly and play nice, together we can create just about anything our hearts desire. When we use the wrong yarn or when we mistreat our yarns, bad things can happen.
Laura Fry will give you the confidence you need to wet-finish without worry.
