Helpful Links and Resources for this issue
COLOR NUGGETS TOWELS
- Read what Véronique Perrot wrote previously about winding warps with multiple ends in hand (see p. 26).
GEMSTONE TABLE RUNNER
- Sheila O’Hara’s Gemstone Table Runner shares most of its threading with her previous Dicey Dish Towels design (see p. 58). Hot tip: In this issue’s article about designing colorful cloth (see p. 18), Véronique Perrot says that Dicey Dish Towels is a good project for experimenting with smooth color transitions. If you don’t have 16 shafts at your disposal, search handweaving.net for a fancy twill that will work for you.
SUMMER DAY BAGS
For more turned taqueté, add Susan Poague’s very popular Circles and Checks Towels to your project list (see p. 46).
Learn the basics of kumihimo braiding.
MEDIA PICK
- Learn how to weave with a clasped warp from Robin Lynde (see p. 58), and then make her Cascading Colors Scarves using the technique (see p. 62).

Nancy Taylor has previously written articles and designed projects for Handwoven, including:
- An essay about dyeing using local wild-growing plants (see p. 72)

- Black and white alpaca blankets (see p. 34)

SUNDAY BEST SCARF
