When I think about hand manipulation on rigid-heddle looms, my mind usually wanders to what I consider The Big Three: Danish medallions, leno, and Brooks bouquet. These are often the first three techniques used by rigid-heddle weavers and the ones you’ll find most commonly in the pages of Easy Weaving with Little Looms. (I would be remiss if I didn’t add that you can use these techniques on tapestry looms and on pin looms with a little finagling.)
Used as-is, they are a great way to add texture and visual interest to your cloth. When modified or used in an otherwise unusual way, they can make even seasoned weavers take a closer look at your cloth as they ask, “How on earth did you do this?” This skill guide covers the basics of these three techniques and examples of designers using them in unconventional ways.
Contents include:
In these pages, you’ll find 23 projects including scarves and shawls galore, kitchen linens, and even a sweet little bento-style bag.
