Is there anything I should be aware of when it comes to deflected doubleweave patterns using a wool that will full quite a bit after it is washed?
We were pretty proud to debut Jennifer Moore’s Doubleweave on a 4-Shaft Loom last year. Now we’re even prouder to launch her follow-up, Block Doubleweave on 8 Shafts.
Pattie Graver wove her Blending This and That Scarves for the January/February issue of Handwoven using a subdued palette that would go with just about any outfit.
An elegant M's and O's infinity hood that will make you feel like a Hollywood starlet when it’s on and won’t have messed up your hair when you take it off.
For me, there’s something cathartic about knowing that I can try anything I want to and it won’t damage the end result, as the ultimate goal of sampling is to learn what to do, or more often, what not to do when weaving.
When I first started weaving, hemstitching terrified me. Now I am a huge proponent of hemstitching, and not only when I want cute little bundles of fringe at the end of my piece.
I am a knitter as well as a weaver, and I’ve developed a freeform weaving style that allows me to escape the constraints of knitting to create funky—and wearable—infinity scarves that use up the little bits of yarn that accumulate over time.
Random design is a fascinating concept, but well-designed is also wonderful, and a good designer can do both. We didn’t randomly choose designers for the three Loom Theory 2018 lookbooks.
Last summer, I traveled to Red Stone Glen to film a few workshops with Tom Knisely. Tom is an amazing teacher. The topic this time is: how to design your own handwoven projects.
The basic premise of what is known as the KonMari method is to embrace what gives you joy and eliminate what doesn’t. This is rather easy when we’re talking about most yarns.
