Handwoven Fall 2024

Get your creativity flowing, and weave something out of the ordinary! This issue features ten tempting projects in corduroy, summer and winter, barleycorn, honeycomb, and more, to energize and delight you.
Whether you live for bright (or subtle) colors, are intrigued by curves, find yourself drawn to a particular texture (we’ve got smooth, fluffy, and satiny), or have a knitting stash to deploy, there’s a project here for you. (Psst! If you’re wondering what a twill is, Madelyn van der Hoogt lays it all out for you.)

Beyond the projects, the articles and features in this issue will help you create new weaving connections. You can catch up on Handwoven’s robust new life with owner Anne Merrow. In Notes from the Fell, Tom Knisely writes about old-fashioned laundry tools—and the one he still uses while finishing handwovens. Yarn Lab tests a silk that weaves into cloth with incredible drape and hand.

Are you a big sports fan? Read the article that explains how to make a custom scarf with your team’s logo or graphics. Follow one weaver’s journey from the most complex loom to a simple rigid heddle, and another’s experience teaching adults with disabilities.
