Detailed Description

Explore the world of plain weave with these 60 projects, all using this very simple weave structure to make extraordinary things. The book is divided into sections focusing on different variations on plain weave:

  • stripes and checks
  • spaced and dense warp sleying
  • warp-faced, weft-faced, and open-spaced rep fabrics
  • color effects
  • effects created by unique weft yarns
  • resist dyeing: shibori and ikat
  • effects created by puckering, folding, and pleating
  • effects made with a fan reed
  • effects caused by washing, shrinking, or fulling the fabric
  • textures created with knots, pile, and soumak

The techniques are clearly described and they can be done on a variety of different looms, but the yarns listed are typically Swedish yarns, so you will need to use the information given to find a similar yarn.
