Handwoven Spring 2024

Flying inspired the eleven projects in this issue that honor butterflies, birds, planes (both real and paper), and even the passage of time. Flight as a metaphor can also be found in many of the articles, whether it’s the Idea Gallery about printing swallow motifs on a shawl warp, an Endnotes about a flock of Noh Coats, or saving fleeting time through unique approaches to warping. In Notes from the Fell Tom Knisely talks about the inspiration he has found through travel and offers tips for how to use travel to inform your own weaving designs. You’ll learn how to keep your mind sharp in Vintage Weavers, how to use one ice-dye setup for two warps, and how a reader is helping her husband stay connected through weaving potholders.

Whether your feet are firmly planted on Planet Earth or your head is in the clouds, this issue based on the magic of flight will delight you.
