Huck Lace From The Best of Weaver’s Collection

Huck Lace is the first in a beautifully illustrated series of treasured articles and projects
from Weaver’s magazine. In this book, more than forty projects by Weaver’s talented
designers give complete instructions for weaving huck lace fabrics for towels, table linens, shawls,

Thick 'n Thin From The Best of Weaver’s Collection
. . . Only $28.95
This definitive work begins with basic tips for drafting
and weaving unique structures that alternate very thick
and very thin fibers in both warp and weft. A little-known
structure called diversified plain weave is reworked, expanded,
and extended to create fabrics that are drapable, sturdy,
and richly textured -- on as few as two shafts. This
innovative approach is applied to log cabin, summer and winter,
crackle, overshot, double weave, and other familiar structures.
More than thirty projects-ranging from rugs to fine silk scarves
give complete and easy-to-follow instructions.
Fabrics That Go Bump From The Best of Weaver’s Collection
. . . Only $28.95
Weavers will love this intriguing collection of projects in fabrics that magically defy the flat
plane to bend, pucker, bump, and furrow. Techniques include collapse, pleats, seersucker, waffle
weaves, cord weaves, and honeycombs. A wide range of special finishing and fulling tips are featured.
Even more valuable than the project details is the confidence this wealth of information gives readers
to continue to explore this exciting subject. Fabrics That Go Bump gathers under a single cover
more than thirty out-of-print articles from Weaver`s magazine and Prairie Wool
Companion.
