Weaver’s Craft, a quarterly publication by former Handwoven editor Jean Scorgie, features well-designed projects with special emphasis on creative expression in color and design. The projects are for beginning and intermediate weavers on four- to eight-shaft table or floor looms, with most of the projects for four-shaft looms.

Each issue centers around a topic, explaining concepts, discussing options, and illustrating processes step by step. It’s like having a teacher at your elbow guiding you with the information you need to learn and grow.

No advertisements, no filler, just information you can use to make your weaving highly rewarding.  Each issue is like a chapter in a book.  Imagine the possibilities!

Issue 29 Threadings, Treadlings, Edge Finishes

This issue of Weaver's Craft explores the strengths and quirks of waffle weave. In waffle weave, long floats plus loose diagonal interlacement result in a fabric that sculpts itself into hills and valleys when tension is removed. Included are 6 projects in waffle weave, each with a different take on edgings. The majority of the projects use 4 shafts.

Articles include: Waffle Weave: The Diamond that Weaves Squares; Waffle Weave Towels with Needle-Woven Edges; Embroidered Waffle Weave Towels; Waffle Weave Plaid Place Mats; Waffle Weave Throw (in 6 and 4 shaft versions); Waffle Weave Disasters; and Pistachio Waffle Scarf.
