Chantilly lace is more than just a pretty face. It's a type of bobbin lace with a long history and ties to Marie Antoinette and Napoleon.

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.

For my breadcloth, I took an even more spontaneous approach. Rather than stick to a few specific colors I grabbed my box of partial bobbins of 8/2 cotton and started weaving.

Get the weaving pattern for Laura Demuth's Telemarksteppe runner in spring colors.

Rita Hagenbruch's cheery Atwater-Bronson lace Happy Shuttle and Stars Linen Towels are as functional as they are beautiful. Get the project instructions here!

Combining colors is like alchemy, with some combinations bringing out the best in each other and others bringing out the worst.

Until I discovered Handwoven, I had no idea that there were so many other weavers. Soon after discovering it, I subscribed, and over the years have fallen in love many times and used many articles in the magazine as the basis for my own projects.

Rebecca Fox used partially filled bobbins of thread donated to her by fiber friends to weave a colorful set of towels.
