Get your creativity flowing, and weave something out of the ordinary! This issue features ten tempting projects in corduroy, summer and winter, barleycorn, honeycomb, and more, to energize and delight you. 

Whether you live for bright (or subtle) colors, are intrigued by curves, find yourself drawn to a particular texture (we’ve got smooth, fluffy, and satiny), or have a knitting stash to deploy, there’s a project here for you. (Psst! If you’re wondering what a twill is, Madelyn van der Hoogt lays it all out for you.)

Beyond the projects, the articles and features in this issue will help you create new weaving connections. You can catch up on Handwoven’s robust new life with owner Anne Merrow. In Notes from the Fell, Tom Knisely writes about old-fashioned laundry tools—and the one he still uses while finishing handwovens. Yarn Lab tests a silk that weaves into cloth with incredible drape and hand.

Are you a big sports fan? Read the article that explains how to make a custom scarf with your team’s logo or graphics. Follow one weaver’s journey from the most complex loom to a simple rigid heddle, and another’s experience teaching adults with disabilities.

Explore weaves beyond twill and try something new with Handwoven Fall 2024!

Bast fibers like linen, hemp, and bamboo have been used for thousands of years. Recently, however, they have gained popularity in the weaving world in part due to their eco-friendliness—many bast fibers require fewer resources to produce, and they often come from renewable plant sources. Fabrics woven with bast yarns have a rustic yet refined beauty, and the yarns are known for their strength.

This issue features 11 projects that showcase bast fibers in various ways. In addition to the expected linen towels and curtains, there are surprises such as a hemp runner, a runner woven using a combination of cotton and raffia, pineapple yarn placemats, and baby blankets with hemp and bamboo wefts. The Yarn Lab explores weaving balanced cloth with a new hemp yarn.

Many of the articles in the issue have a reflective aspect. There are pieces on how to continue weaving as you age, the intrinsic value of handmade items, and journaling your weaving and your life. Tom Knisely takes readers on a tour of a production weaver’s studio, and Rebecca Fox invites you to a special island with a unique indigo dye studio.

If bast isn’t yet in your stash, this may be the time to add it! Enjoy this beautiful issue that celebrates the wonder of plant-based bast.

Take a step (or a leap, as the case may be) out of the box with this issue of Handwoven celebrating weaving that deflects out of the woven grid. Whether it’s a function of weave structure or yarn composition, the threads in all 12 projects curve and twist during wet-finishing, whether it’s a lot or a little, and many of the projects differ from one side to the other. Two technique articles expand on the deflection theme, one by Yvonne Ellsworth about dyeing a warp and weaving a scarf to mimic a doubleknit piece, and a Traditions article by Phyllis Miller on weaving sashiko-style patterns to pair with a treasured piece of kimono silk. Our new article series, Best Practices, by Susan Bateman and Melissa Parsons gives tips for better warping, and Tom Knisely in Notes from the Fell looks at different ways of keeping weaving records—some of which may surprise you. The Spotlight is on a young man, Nevan Carling, intent on studying and restoring antique looms, and for the Yarn Lab Elisabeth Hill puts three fine yarns into deflecting structures with great results. The issue wraps up with an essay by Janney Simpson about her own winding path to using deflection in her beautiful scarves and shawls.

Weaving by its very nature invites exploration. This issue of Handwoven delves into the role experimentation plays in design development, whether it is using new-to-the-weaver yarns, unique color mixtures in warp and weft, or combining weave structures in a draft. Each of the 11 projects shows how the craft continues to evolve in the hands of weavers.

Many of the features continue along the theme of exploration, including an article by Tommye McClure Scanlin about developing tapestry designs, an Endnotes about treadling within a loose framework of rules, an Idea Gallery describing how to design blankets using the temperature ranges at a special location during a significant year as a color guide, and a Yarn Lab about an unusual blend of bamboo and cotton. You’ll want to check out the article about Handweaving.net, a website that has grown since its inception in 2003 to become not only a huge repository of weaving information but also an interactive website with a slew of design components. The Perfect Towel article explains why some towels are superior to others and provides tips for weaving better towels, Tom Knisely gives some surprising insights on managing heddles in Notes from the Fell, and two occupational therapists outline ways to weave smarter so you can weave longer and remain pain free.

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.

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.

Weavers have long been intrigued by the magical designs created by carefully placing dark and light colors in both warp and weft. Whether it’s traditional log cabin or more complex color-and-weave designs, including shadow weave and twills, the motifs and patterns that develop in the cloth are inspiring and delightful. Put any one of this issue’s 11 beautiful color-and-weave projects on your loom to learn the basics of this unique weaving approach. You may find yourself developing your own designs and magic as you play with the colors and values.

This is a technique-strong issue with three articles about design and one about weaving rugs using deflected doubleweave, a structure not well-known for rugs. Tom Knisely talks about the usefulness of marking your work for future generations and the method he learned for adding initials and dates to weaving projects. The “Yarn Lab” details a special yarn made from recycled plastic bottles and old jeans, and “What’s Happening” describes a not -to-be missed exhibit about Navajo weaving. From “Endnotes” you’ll learn about a unique way of weaving temperature blankets, one that you may want to try!

27 Fabulous Projects From a Master Weaver                                     

by Tom Knisely

 Tom Knisely, author of bestseller Rag Rug Weaving and Handwoven Baby Blankets, has now turned his attention to one of the most popular categories of weaving: table linens. Placemats, runners, tablecloths, and napkins play a central role in creating the look of a dining room or kitchen table, and this book gives you the tools needed to realize your vision for these special items.
Tom has found inspiration from things as varied as china patterns, a classic Spode Christmas tree, and traditional weaving patterns such as Shadow Weave, Wheel of Fortune, and Star of Bethlehem. For each pattern, he outlines the materials you need, how to set up your loom, and the pattern to weave. Add your own dash of inspiration if you choose different colors, and make each piece your own.
The 27 patterns include simple weaves worked on 2- and 4-harness looms, as well as more complex weaves requiring more harnesses. Because Tom is at heart a teacher, he also chose each project with the thought that it should add to your weaving repertoire in some way. The techniques you learn as you work on the projects in this book are things that you can adapt and use down the road in future weaving.

Narrow bands of woven tape were important to Americans in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, before the days of elastic and zippers. This book documents the fascinating American history of handwoven tape and offers patterns and instructions to enable today’s weavers to make it. Many Early American households had a tape loom for making the tape needed by the family, and this book offers a discussion of the people who wove tape, the patterns woven, and the types of looms used, along with over 280 color images. The book also gives step-by-step instructions for setting up a tape loom with warp threads, and explains how to weave your own tape. You can weave tape for similar practical uses as our forebears, or to create one-of-a-kind gifts and decorations like key chains, holiday garlands, or lanyards.

The name Haruito [はるいと] is word composed of two parts : Haru is the Japanese term for spring & Ito for thread or "yarn for spring". Spring brings to mind the time of year when everything starts to bloom and colorful flowers delight our eyes. Due to the smooth, silky structure, the yarn is wonderful to wear directly on the skin (containing no wool, only silk, cotton, and nylon). It is ideal for sweaters, summer jackets, summer scarves and stoles that you can wrap yourself in when it gets cooler in the evenings. It is also a perfect choice for a soft baby blanket.
