Handwoven May/June 2019

Warp once and weave multiple projects with the patterns in this issue. Learn how to adjust tie–up and treadling to weave different patterns and even different weave structures. This issue includes 8 projects that do double duty including a twill baby blanket with matching waffle weave towel by Tom Knisely, a rep weave runner with coordinating doubleweave pillows by Deanna Deeds, and a set of circle and square towels by Susan Poague.

Also in this issue, Tom Knisely talks about how the reed and heddles work in harmony, and how you can use them to your advantage to create textured cloth and Liz Moncrief gives tips on better tie–ups for your looms. Jennifer Johnson shares her research on weavers of eastern North Carolina in her Traditions article while Allen Walck shares a dimity project inspired by Jennifer's research. Finally Anu Bhatia tells the story of 3 different scarves woven on the same warp with 3 different tie–ups.
