Almost as long as there have been people, there have been stories to explain the world and entertain. In this issue of Easy Weaving with Little Looms, we’re translating some of our favorite folk and fairy tales from around the world into a language we all love: weaving!

Each of the 18 projects is a new weaving adventure designed around a beloved tale. Weave a set of suspenders inspired by Pinocchio on your inkle loom, or an embroidered pin-loom scarf fit for the snow queen herself. Celebrate the world-famous storyteller, Scheherazade, with the rigid-heddle woven Arabian Nights Placemats (no two are the same!). Weave up some cozy wool fabric before fulling it and turning it into a set of cozy mittens inspired by a Ukrainian folk tale.

In our feature articles, you’ll learn how to use 100% linen as a warp on your rigid-heddle loom without tears. As part of their new series, get the basics of tapestry weaving and what you need to get started from Claudia Chase and Elena Kawachi. In Do it by Hand, you’ll get step-by-step instructions for four different types of braids. Also, in this issue, Anita Osterhaug gives you the “full” story on fulling—the science behind it and tips on getting the best results for your project. These charming projects, enlightening tutorials, and more are in the Winter 2023 issue.

Is it better this way? Could take out “the what you need to get started” to get it even shorter.

One of the joys of weaving is creating the unexpected. For this issue, that meant looking at how the combination of color, weave structure, and yarn types can produce the illusion of iridescence, pearlescence, and even incandescence in cloth. All nine projects seem to glow, reflect, and even shimmer in the light surrounding them.

Some of the articles address these same qualities, including Bobbie Irwin’s studies of woven iridescence, a Yarn Lab about weaving with neon bright colored yarns, and an Endnotes describing one weaver’s attempts to create iridescence but getting other unwanted effects. From a technical aspect, you can read about weaving with rayon chenille, a light-catching fiber that can also be a challenge to weave with, photography tips for weavers, and an interview with a scientist currently studying bioluminescence and photoluminescence in fiber. Tom Knisley has some tips if you are considering starting your own sheep-to-shawl team, and in What’s Happening we’ve highlighted a beautiful and long-awaited show about the weaving program at Black Mountain College. Finally, our Spotlight is on Toshiko Taira, a woman who is credited with reviving a Japanese fiber and weaving cultural tradition.

Weaving is twice as nice when you learn how to combine colors, fibers, weave structures, and design techniques to create projects that go beyond the ordinary. In this Easy Weaving with Little Looms issue, we’re celebrating projects that combine the best of both worlds. Weave up a set of coordinating rigid-heddle towels and potholders and finish them with inkle-woven bands. Then mix and match pin-loom shapes to weave an out-of-this-world star shawl or a cozy lap blanket. Build the perfect pin cushion using an inkle band and two pin-loom woven squares, and then finish it with simple embroidery. Feel inspired? There’s so much more waiting within the pages of the Fall 2023 issue!

Weavers have a unique way of looking at the world and often borrow color combinations, patterns, and interesting forms from everyday life for their designs. In this issue of Handwoven we celebrate the inspiration that surrounds us in buildings and structures with 11 projects that each explore some aspect of architecture. In addition, you’ll learn about 2 weavings that used special types of architecture for their inspiration—an iconic skyscraper, and oddly enough, a pleated corpse flower.

In other articles, you’ll be introduced to the Tuesday Weavers of Tennessee, learn how to spin and weave with paper, receive tips for taking care of your eyes and hands while weaving, and read about the many Icelandic sheep and wool customs. In Notes from the Fell, Tom Knisely shares his list of go-to weaving books, and there is something for everyone in the Euroflax Yarn Lab.

Wherever inspiration finds you, you’ll love this issue of Handwoven based on the elements of the architecture that surround us.

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. An optional attached tensioned Lazy Kate integrates into the front leg and makes it easy to take along, too!

The Ladybug Spinning Wheel uses Scotch tension, and can also be used in double drive mode. The Ladybug comes with medium and fast flyer whorls; the extra slow, slow, high, and super high speed whorls can also be used for a wide range of ratios.

Included with each Schacht Ladybug Spinning Wheel are a poly drive band, threading hook, three bobbins, medium and fast whorls, and double drive band. Each Ladybug Spinning Wheel is unique – somewhere on your wheel is your very own Ladybug pal.

Optional accessories sold separately. Please contact Josh directly with any questions about purchasing a spinning wheel. We are able to offer Schacht's full line of spinning wheels and equipment by special order, in addition to what we have in stock.
