weaving

Because my loom is only 36" wide, I’m thinking of weaving the blanket in two panels. What would be the best way to do this?

In her simple Fingerwoven Bracelet projects from the March/April 2019 issue of Handwoven, Carol James provides the perfect project for learning this fun technique.

In our May/June 2019 issue of Handwoven we explore the ways you can adjust your warp to weave multiple projects, structures, or patterns.

What kind of weaver are you?

Floating selvedges should always be weighted. You can choose to beam the floating selvedge with the rest of the warp, or you can add it as an additional thread suspended from the back beam.

I know some weavers hem their towels before finishing in the washing machine and dryer. Do you have a preferred way?

Susan E. Horton’s Sweet Simplicity Towels are a simple weave combined with a classic color palette.

I wouldn’t recommend that a brand-new weaver jump into profile drafts. It’s not because the subject is difficult, but a grasp of profile drafts needs to be layered onto a basic understanding of drafts.

Crinolines make the wearer look beautiful but they come with risks!

There are 14 possible tie-ups for a 4-shaft loom, and all of them can be accomplished with just four treadles--even if the draft is for six treadles!
