Author: Denise Kovnat
Color and structure are key elements in weaving, of course. But we often overlook the importance of texture. Dimensional fabrics, with their pleats, puffs, and curves take us “off the grid” to reflect the organic forms found in nature. We can see and feel the tactile qualities of dimensional cloth which adds much to the beauty of a handwoven fabric.
This book provides the tools to optimize the texture component in your weaving.
Starting with background on the techniques involved, it then offers step-by-step instructions for 12 projects for four to 16-shaft looms:
As a bonus, there are two patterns that allow you to weave three different projects on a single warp. “Weaving Outside the Boxprovides the tips and resources you need to move beyond the two-dimensional plane and rectilinear patterns of warp and weft.”
A weaver since 1998, Denise Kovnat has studied, practiced, and taught weaving for 25 years, both on-site and online on three continents. In addition to textured weaves, her favorite techniques are parallel threadings and painted warp on either her 16-shaft Toika Eva or 32-shaft Louet Megado. Denise lives with her husband in Rochester, NY. More on Denise and her weaving style and inspirations can be found at www.denisekovnat.com
