	a weaver's book of 8-shaft patterns: from the friends of handwoven Carol Strickler (editor) Weavers have always traded patterns, just as avid cooks trade recipes. 'The Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns' is the ultimate pattern swap: some 250 dedicated and skilful readers of 'Handwoven' magazine have created samples and drafts to share in these pages. The result is more than 25 different types of threadings explored and nearly 900 fabric samples with their drafts. Well-known weaves such as twill and twill-based, tied-unit, and lace weaves are included, as well as less common ones such as diversified plain weave and piqué. If you're new to multishaft weaving, you'll find a whole new world of possibilities; if you're a seasoned weaver, you'll see new "what ifs" to explore on every page. 240pp click on image for contents page more on weaving textiles & fabrics Price: £28.99
