Weavers Craft Weaver's Craft Magazine - Waffle Weave (29)

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  - Waffle Weave

Waffle weave is a particular tie-up used with point twill threading and treadling on four or more shafts. Treadling waffle weave makes rectangular cells with long vertical and horizontal floats outlining recessed valleys. On the reverse side, the hills become valleys and the valleys hills, making the fabric reversible.

Projects include Waffle Weave Towels with Needle-Woven Edges, Embroidered Waffle Weave Towels, Waffle Weave Plaid Place Mats, Waffle Weave Thrrow, and Pistachio Waffle Scarf.
