Weavers Craft Weaver's Craft Magazine - Twill and Basket Weave Combined (17)

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 17  - Twill and Basket Weave Combined

In the world of four-shaft weave structures, 2/2 twill and 2/2 basket weave are an admirable match because their float lengths are the same. They contrast beautifully whether in the warp or weft. The linear grid of basket weave sets off the diagonal movement of twill and its variations. Projects include Classic Twill Towels (shown in the cover photo), Twill Stripes Towel, Twill Mosaic Towels, and Twill Squares Towels.
