We invite you to welcome springtime along with Handwoven. From airy scarves to lacy table linens, and a painterly wall-hanging to a light jacket for breezy days—the ten enticing projects in this issue will help lighten up your weaving as the days lengthen.

Are you intrigued by lace, drawn to doubleweave, or curious about sashiko? In the mood for inlay, or obsessed with stripes? Whatever your preference, there’s a project here to spark your creative spirit. And in keeping with the season’s gentler weather, you’ll find scarves and towels using silk, mohair, or linen, as well as cotton and Tencel.

Then, expand your weaving skills and understanding with the articles and features in this issue.

• Tom Knisely writes about the value of textiles, from how to set a price for your weaving to how much you’ll pay for the work of others—and the surprising reasons those prices can vary widely. 
• Karen Donde reviews a comprehensive and important new book about how to weave optical illusions.
• Feeling confused about color? Tien Chiu explains how and why you can weave dramatically different pieces on the same warp—simply by changing your tie-up.
• Learn to use a handful of beads (or short pieces of drinking straws!) to create leno lace without doups or pick-up sticks.
• Meet a web tool meant for embroidery patterns, and learn about using it to easily create your own sashiko weaving drafts.

Moving around the world, Karen Brock gives us a glimpse of a remote Nepalese village where weavers are hanging on to their traditions in the wake of the pandemic. And you’ll learn about eri and how it is produced in a brief excerpt from Karen Selk’s recent book about wild silk.   

Embrace the season with the easy breezy, light and lacy ideas you’ll find in Handwoven Spring 2025.

Join us as we celebrate Local Yarn Shop Day with a new pattern available exclusively through your local yarn shop. (That's Us!) We have stocked five trendy colors of Noble Cotton yarn from Cascade.

The 2023 LYS Day Shawl designed by Shannon Dunbabin is a 4-skein lace shawl knit in Noble Cotton color #71 Spring Crocus, inspired by Pantone's color of the year– Viva Magenta. Spun from extra-long staple cotton, Noble Cotton is luxurious and soft. This DK-gauge mercerized cotton works up beautifully for garments and accessories and is available in over 75 solids, including fluorescent neons, as well as new Hand Dyed, and Tie Dyed color ways.

The mill in India that produces Noble Cotton practices sustainability and environmental stewardship by the recycling of the wastewater in a closed system, with the result of zero water discharge. Water recycling is achieved by a variety of methods including reverse osmosis and nano filtration. The zero-liquid discharge recycling saves over 90 million gallons (350 million liters) of water per year. Best of all, since the recycled water is essentially distilled, the pure soft water provides the foundation for superior dying with consistent and clear colors. The 2023 LYS Day Shawl can also be knit in Ultra Pima.

The Ladybug Spinning Wheel is friendly to entry-level spinners, easy to treadle, easy to take with you, and…as cute as a bug! The Ladybug has the characteristic solid Schacht construction and its unique design is both functional and charming. Designed-in carrying handles in the legs and light weight make the Ladybug easy to pick up and transport.

We also have one on display in the studio to try out. We do allow this wheel to oversell. In the event that the wheel is not in stock, it will ship directly to you from Schacht.

Please contact us by phone, in person, or email for any questions you have about purchasing a wheel. We encourage you stop by the studio and take the Ladybug for a test spin, as well as, the other wheels we carry from Schacht! 

The long needle point of our oil bottle is ideal for getting to all those hard-to-reach places on spinning wheels and other small machines. Filled with 1/2 oz. of motor oil.

Schacht's Hi-Lo Drop Spindles offer the best of both whorls: a brass hook at the top for high-whorl spinning and a grooved shaft for low-whorl spinning.
