Weavers Craft Weaver's Craft Magazine - Twill M's and W's (22)

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 22  - Twill M's and W's

The hills and valleys of point twill provide many opportunities for creative adventures. The threading drafts often have sections that look like M's or W's. Easy to design, thread, and treadle, M's and W's twillls are fast to weave with one color in the warp and a contrasting color in the weft. Use the many treadlings shown or learn to design your own variations. Put on a long warp and weave each piece with a different weft color. Named after mountains in Oregon, projects woven with 8/2 unmercerized cotton include Black Butte Twill Towels, Broken Top Twill Towels, and Three Sisters Twill Towels. M's and W's twills are also perfect for scarves, such as the Bamboo Scarf project.
