AuthorCarol Strickler
Weaver and editor Carol Strickler has spent a good share of her weaving life peering at fabrics. A recognised authority on coverlet weaves, she authored 'American Woven Coverlets' (Interweave Press, 1998), and has analysed coverlets, written articles on the subject, and consulted with weavers and collectos accross the country.
SummaryWeavers have always traded patterns, just as avid cooks trade recipes. 'The Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns' is the ultimate pattern swop: some 250 readers of Handwoven magazine, dedicated and skillful weavers all, created samples and drafts to share in these pages.
The result is more than 25 different types of threadings explored and nearly 900 fabric samples with their drafts. Well-known weaves such as twill and twill-based, tied unit, and lace weaves are included, as well as less common ones such as diversified plain weave and piqué. If you're new to multishaft weaving, you'll find a whole new world of possibilities; if you're a seasoned weaver, you'll see new "what ifs" to explore on every page. You can skip through the book, picking and choosing drafts to try, or dig into a single weave and explore it in depth.
