Weavers Craft Weaver's Craft Magazine - 13 Four-Shaft Twill Sampler (SUMMER03)

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 13  - Four-Shaft Twill Sampler

Compare a woven cloth to the black and white squares of a graphed drawdown and you'll quickly realize the shortcomings of the graphed representation. As absolutely indispensable as drawdowns are, their rigid rows of squares are mocked by the yarns of the cloth, which nestle together according to their own rules. Explore the possibilities of four-shaft straight twill threadings by choosing from sixty-two treadling variations (you can design even more yourself), and weave a reference sampler or several Sampler Hand Towels, Guest Towels, and Cord Weave Scarf.
