Weavers Craft Weaver's Craft Magazine - 12 Leno, Mexican Lace, Brooks Bouquet, and Leno Motifs (SPRING03)

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 12  - Leno, Mexican Lace, Brook's Bouquet, and Leno Motifs

Enlarging some of the openings between a fabric's threads forms lace, and these laces are formed by manipulating the warp ends through twisting or wrapping. A pointed pick-up stick and small boat shuttle make twisting easier than you imagine.

Projects include a leno sampler striped valance for a kitchen window, lace sampler place mats (each one different), and designing your own lace motifs.
