Meet Elisabeth Hill: Fabulous Designer, Weaver, Instructor, and Technical Editor
How much yarn do I need for weaving projects, and how do I calculate it? Does my choice of weaving yarn make a difference?
Fashion yarns can be fickle beasts. They’re so enticing in the yarn shop, but sometimes when you get them home, you start wondering how to actually weave with them. Fortunately fashion yarns don’t have to be difficult.
For this edition of Why We Love we’re focusing on something we at Handwoven couldn’t live without: our designers. We wouldn’t exist without their willingness to share their talents and their projects with the world.
Beautiful towels you can weave over the weekend, or for a romantic weekend. These Baltic Hearts Towels are a popular project.
At this point, all my friends and immediate family have learned to never say, “Oh, that towel is just too pretty to use,” because they have the lecture on why handwoven towels are superior to all other towels memorized.
Sometimes simple changes can make a big difference in warping your loom faster and more efficiently. Find lessons in warping here.
