For pin-loomers Gabi van Tassel’s Raffiametry Placemats showcase how to use raffia on a pin loom, while Kay Meador’s Ebb & Flow Pillow takes advantage of slow striping yarns to create a soothing, painterly color-block pillow cover. Jennifer Williams inkle-woven Relaxation Eye Cover brings the spa experience into your home with silk, lavender, and flax seeds. And for tablet weavers, give your high tops a boost of color and pattern with John Mullarkey’s tablet-woven Astounding Shoelaces.
Besides the wonderful projects, you’ll learn about using chance to boost your designs; how to join woven pieces using crochet, embroidery, and knitting; new ways to use fun and colorful art yarns; and 3 tapestry techniques that work equally well on the rigid-heddle loom. Susan J. Folkes writes about the history of bandweaving and her journey to become the expert band weaver that she is today.
