Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The latest from Tina Ignell: a comprehensive study of 2-shaft stripes, plaids, color effects, and so much more. Renowned weaving expert Tina Ignell ( Favorite Scandinavian Projects to Weave, Favorite Rag Rugs, Simple Weaves ) turns her attention to the deceptively simple and endlessly adaptable category of plain weaves, in this exhaustive overview of techniques, sample projects, and inspirational possibilities. Combine a wide variety of materials, setts, beats, and other effects with just two shafts-though sometimes four is preferred for the sake of space-and you'll be astounded by the technical complexity, visual and textural effects, and stunning pattern styles you can achieve. Project photographs as close to "actual size" as possible, to allow a true-to-life look at pattern structure and threading Descriptions, instructions, and tips for dyeing, finishing, specialty techniques-everything-necessary to master plain weave from start to finish Variations including open rep with weft showing, using a fan reed, weaving in pleats and other textures, ikat and other patterned dyeing techniques, knotted paper yarn, and more
