Handwoven Magazine

We all like inspiration books and I think that this one falls into that category. There are fifty handwoven scarves in this book and they each contain a weaving draft and at least some instruction on how to copy them. However I think that the best part of this book is as a jumping off place for your own designs. Lots of ideas and beautiful photos of the finished scarves.

Although this Design Collection contains a wide variety of projects - there aren't any - that totally thrill me as a project to do, although I may use a weave structure or an idea to develop something more useful to myself. The photos are very nice. show less

Terrific article on 3 shaft weaves. Basketweave pillow case. Interesting batweave shawl.
