This book features the original sample collection and handwritten drafts of the talented, early 20th century weaver, Bertha Gray Hayes of Providence, Rhode Island. She designed and wove miniature overshot patterns for four-harness looms that are creative and unique. The book contains color reproductions of 72 original sample cards and 20 recently discovered patterns, many shown with a picture of the woven sample, and each with computer-generated drawdowns and drafting patterns. Her designs are unique in their asymmetry and personal in her use of name drafting to create the designs. Bertha Hayes attended the first nine National Conferences of American Handweavers (1938-1946). She learned to weave by herself through the Shuttle-Craft home course and was a charter member of the Shuttle-Craft Guild, and authored articles on weaving.

Every weaver weaves hand towels!

They are small in size and weave quickly, are perfect for using up small amounts of yarn, make great gifts, are perfect for beginners and for learning new techniques, and they are eminently practical and you need new ones now and then. This collection of hand towel patterns is just the reference you need! With 43 designs in a variety of weave structures, from easy to advanced patterns, for both 4- and 8-shaft looms, there are plenty of patterns to explore and learn from while you make practical towels.

Since kitchen towels are often undertaken as a first weave, the book includes an introductory section explaining how to read and work from weaving drafts, the best fiber choices for towels, how to combine colors in pleasing combinations, finishing techniques, and troubleshooting tips.

This full-color look at the patterns that Dr. William Bateman developed over 60 years ago helps intermediate to advanced-level weavers think more innovatively about their craft. 

Its 408 color photos of Bateman's sample weaves and draft diagrams create a treasure trove that allows today's weavers to experiment on their own looms with his out-of-the-box thinking.

Bateman, a chemistry professor turned weaver, analyzed traditional patterns and extended them in completely new directions.

After she completed her monographs on the Bateman weaves, Virginia Harvey donated his nearly 1,500 samples to the Seattle Weavers' Guild. Guild members Spady, Tracey, and Fiddler curated this selection, giving today's weavers an easy to use (and to be inspired by!) guide to the ways Bateman manipulated more traditional weaves, as well as to his new structures.

• The 160 samples included are Dr. Bateman's originals, and detail the yarns and setts he outlined in his documentation.

• With 408 color photos and draft diagrams of Bateman's sample weaves, weavers can experiment with his innovations on their own looms.

• The drafts are organized into weave groups, ranging from those with their origins in traditional structures like twill or overshot, to the one-of-a-kind new weaves Bateman invented.

• Includes many Bateman weave drafts and samples never before seen or published.

Bobbie Irwin has been teaching the techniques for weaving iridescence in person and through articles for more than ten years.

The Weaving Stick is a small, versatile tool that can be used as a pick up stick and weaving needle. Its slim profile allows extra maneuverability for any weaving project.

Sakiori is an approach to rag weaving used by Japanese peasants to cope with the scarcity of new cloth for clothing and household textiles. In modern times, there is instead an overabundance of cloth filling up thrift stores and being discarded. Weavers can use this source of “rags” to make useful and surprising new cloth. Depending on the fabric used, results can be rugged and utilitarian (like cotton rugs) or fashionable and delicate (like silk scarves).
The book begins with an overview of the history and context of sakiori in Japan, followed by methods and tips for successful rag weaving with a variety of materials and looms, including rigid heddle looms as well as floor looms. Charts and worksheets make it easy to find the information weavers need to get started, and 21 projects with instructions and drafts provide inspiration and ideas.

Incredibly Soft! Our Angora is sourced from Europe and is super soft with a wonderful matt texture.

Sold in 1 ounce increments. 

Angora is considered to be a luxury fibre. The hair of the Angora rabbit is white or coloured, also long and soft, with the rabbits being kept commercially for their fur fibre. Again, the fibre consists of short fine hairs and long spiky hairs. However, in this case the long spiky hairs are considered to be an advantage and produce pleasing effects in yarns and other articles. With the longer hair having a little lustre and taking dye a little differently to the fine hair also adds to the effect. The hair is combed and clipped every three months and then graded. The clean, long, best grade commands the highest price. White fibre is considered to be the most desirable.

This fibre is luxurious being whiter than any other natural fibre. Care of this fibre is an issue, as it is known to be the most effective fibre for felting and readily felts with little effort. Therefore, if it is not cared for correctly it may result in felted garments.
