AuthorMadelyn van
SummaryThick `n Thin is the second in this beautifully illustrated series.`What if . . .?` Thick `n Thin shows that when the weaver`s favorite question centers on yarn weight, the answers are surprisingly serendipitous. This definitive work begins with basic tips for drafting and weaving unique structures that alternate very thick and very thin fibers in both warp and weft. A little-known structure called diversified plain weave is reworked, expanded, and extended to create fabrics that are drapeable, sturdy, and richly textured-on as few as two shafts. This innovative approach is applied to log cabin, summer and winter, crackle, overshot, double, and other familiar weaves. More than thirty projects-ranging from rugs to fine silk scarves give complete and easy-to-follow instructions. Learn how to prepare the warp and thread the loom with these challenging combinations, how to create your own effective designs, how to use these weaves with profile drafts-every aspect is thoroughly explained.
