Description

For over twenty years, Weaver's magazine and Prairie Wool Companion have served as primary sources of instruction, innovation, and inspiration in the world of handweaving.

Nowhere else in the publishing world does there exist such a thorough study of weave structure and its relationship to fine fabric design.

In each Best of Weaver's book, over thirty out-of-print articles and projects from Weaver's and PWC that feature a particular technique are gathered under one cover. The Magic of Double Weave presents loom-controlled double weave - all the ways the loom can produce multiple layers: block double weaves, stitched double cloths, double-width weaving, double-layered color effects, and more. Projects on four to sixteen shafts include runners and placemats; coverlets and throws; jackets, shawls, vests, and bags; wall hangings, and more.

Each project is accompanied by detailed steps for designing and weaving and illustrated with inspiring full-color photographs by Alexis Xenakis. Even more valuable than the specific how-tos is the wealth of information about how double weave works so that readers can design their own original fabrics.
