The Best of Weaver's,
By
This review is from: Thick 'n Thin: The Best of Weaver's (Best of Weaver's series) (Paperback)
The magazine "Weaver's" is defunct but you can find a few archives hidden away in weaver's guilds. However, the patterns live on in this the second book in the "Best of Weaver's" series.
The definitive work on Thick'n Thin Weaves includes: * Block design with thick'n thin * Network drafting with thick'n thin * Comprehensive primer on warp rep * Thick'n thin double weave * Thick'n thin warping tips * And over thirty projects Unfortunately, for this book it is too many sweaters and not enough samplers. Many of the patterns have drafts for different numbers of shafts for each pattern. Some in this book are for 16 shafts. Looks like I am back to loom hunting. Alternatively, a little bit of retrofitting.
