Natural Dyeing

by Jackie Crook
9" x 9 1/2" Softcover (112 pages)
2007, Lark Books
$18.95 Canadian ($15.95 US)

Dyeing is a traditional craft that anyone can get involved in, at any age. It is a perfect hobby to take up to experiment with color and explore the different effects natural plant dyes have on a range of cotton, wool and silk fibers, yarns and fabrics.

For thousands of years, natural dyes have been celebrated for their subtlety and diversity - and, thanks to contemporary concerns about chemicals and toxins, their popularity is surging again. Fortunately, as this vibrant guide so elegantly shows, the craft is both easy and enjoyable to explore and requires no special equipment: just ordinary pots and pans.

This thoroughly illustrated tutorial covers all the basics of hot and cool dyeing, and 30 colorful options to try, including roots and plants (madder, tumeric, henna), wood (cutch, fustic), flowers (safflower, dandelion, daffodil), leaves and stalks (tea, rhubarb, indigo), and fruits and vegetables (blackberry, wild cherry, avocado). From pale pinks and vibrant oranges to earthy browns and rich blues, a vast spectrum of hues awaits.

This informative book demonstrates how easy and exciting it is to make your own dye baths and to dye your own materials. It leads you through the process of preparing your fibers and fabrics and explains it in simple step-by-step sequences the three natural dyeing techniques - cool water, hot water and vat.

The 30 projects show you how to unlock the myriad of hues to be extracted from different flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables. Including dye recipes, color swatches, details on each plant and stunning close-up photography of dyed fabrics and fibers, you will be inspired to bring the colors of nature into your everyday life.

Navajo Rug Designs

by Susan Lowell
6 1/4" x 6 1/4" Hardcover (64 pages)
2005, Rio Nuevo Publishers
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Speaking the language of color, pattern, and texture, these rug designs tell stories.

More than a century ago, culture and commerce intersected at Juan Lorenzo Hubbell's trading post in Ganado, Arizona. Hubbell's many visitors included several artists who painted "portraits" of the Navajo weavings that came into the trading post. When Hubbell showed these paintings to weavers, he inspired a remarkable artistic collaboration that crossed cultures and genres.

Collected and published here for the first time, the powerful images in this book recount a tale as intricate as the complex designs themselves and illuminate the history of Native American textile art.

Navajo Weaving Way - The Path From Fleece to Rug

by Noel Bennett with Tiana Bighorse
8" x 10" Softcover (160 pages)
1997, Interweave Press, Inc.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Noel Bennett met traditional Navajo weaver Tiana Bighorse in 1968. In time Tiana took her into her family as a daughter. Together they sheared sheep, collected plants, dyed wool, carded, spun and wove. This book records their many experiences together, a collaboration that spans nearly thirty years. In 1971, Tiana and Noel wrote Working with Wool: How to Weave a Navajo Rug. Noel later wrote Designing with the Wool and The Weaver's Pathway.

Now, this single, authoritative volume brings together those three books - with updates and revisions - as well as excerpts from other published articles and books by Noel and Tiana about Navajo weaving, culture and history. It includes all-new chapters on spinning, carding and dyeing techniques. Detailed charts and illustrations help the weaver find her/his way step-by-step through the making of a first sampler and through several more advanced techniques. Illustrations include brilliant photographs by John Running of native women carding, spinning, and weaving, along with line drawings depicting specific techniques.



Nepalese Textiles

by Susi Dunsmore
8 1/2" x 11" Softcover (204 pages)
1993, British Museum Press
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Susi Dunsmore has travelled into the farthest reaches of Nepal in search of its rich and varied textiles. In the lowland valleys and the Himalayan middle mountains she has recorded traditional techniques, photographed weavers at work, and collected outstanding examples of their craft.

Until the 1950s the kingdom of Nepal had little contact with the outside world. As a result, techniques continued in use for over a thousand years and the cloth retained a distinctly Nepalese character. The author has examined manuscripts and stone carvings for the earliest evidence of textiles, and shows, for example, that nettle cloth still made today is praised for its beauty and fineness in the ancient epic of Ramayana.

The author illustrates looms and spindles of all types, describes the subtle natural dyes, and surveys the raw materials used. While some of the techniques she has recorded may vanish with fresh influences upon Nepal, new traditions are already developing and she shows the impact which a wider range of colours and yarns, including silk and fibres of the Himalayan Giant Nettle, has made among some weavers as recently as 1993.

This book is richly illustraed with 100 colour and 80 black-and-white photographs and drawings.

Apart from her fieldwork in Nepal, Susi Dunsmore has worked as a Lecturer of Art at the Teachers' Training College, Kuching, Sarawak for eight years, and has assisted with craft-related educational projects in Belize and The Gambia. She is the author of a number of publications including Weaving in Nepal, (1983, second edition 1990) and The Nettle in Nepal (1985).



Network Drafting: An Introduction

by Alice Schlein
8 1/2" x 11" Spiral Bound Softcover (126 pages)
1994, Bridgewater Press
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Network Drafting: An Introduction offers the designer/weaver an entree into an exciting new world - the weaving of curved designs in many structures on the multishaft loom without jacquard devices, draw harnesses or other loom modifications. Weavers with looms of eight or more shafts, with or without dobbies will love this book. Think curves!

Weavers with 8 shafts or more will be delighted to find the complete theory of network drafting clearly explained under one cover. In 1989 the author introduced network drafting to handweavers in a series of articles appearing in Weaver's magazine. Since that debut, weavers have gratefully explored the large, curvy images that networking makes possible. If you missed these articles or would like to understand the theory in greater depth, learn in this book how to design a pattern line, construct simple networks, apply networking to all unit weaves, cut-and-paste tie-up and treadling orders and make networking a favorite design tool. This book includes 26 templates to copy, cut and paste for the reader's own drafts and is extensively illustrated using black and white diagrams.



Norwegian Tapestry Weaving

by Maria Brekke Koppen
7 3/4" x 10 1/4" Hardcover (132 pages)
1988, Eikeskog Press
$59.95 Canadian ($49.95 US)

Christine Spangler has translated a classic text on Norwegian tapestry techniques (Innforing i Billedvev) to English. The book was written by Maria Brekke Koppen, Professor at the State College for Art Teachers in Oslo and the translation is largely from the second edition of her book (1978), but it also contains some additions on mounting and finishing from the third and last edition (1988).

Norwegian tapestry technique relies upon dovetail joins along a vertical line. Unlike continental tapestry there are no slits that need to be closed by sewing. The book includes historical background, step-by-step instruction for the construction of tapestry, joining techniques, the three methods of joining tapestry along a vertical line, looms and equipment, designing the cartoon, the placement order for wefts, corrections, finishing and mounting and materials.

This is a wonderful book - full of very clear diagrams and pictures. It is profusely illustrated in black and white (220 drawings), but it also has four pages of color pictures. For those who know Scandinavian tapestry, this is really the "Bible" for Norwegian techniques.



On-Loom Cardweaving - A Modern Extension of an Ancient Craft

by Herbi Gray
8 1/2" x 11" Softcover (60 pages)
1982, Herbi Gray
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

On-loom cardweaving has a great deal to offer the adventuresome weaver. Double weave pickup and shadow weave pickup can be woven faster on cards than by conventional methods. Once a card is repositioned for the pattern, its warp threads stay in that position for the length of the pattern area; the obvious color difference in the upper layer of warp frees the weaver from counting threads before each weft. Card-controlled leno can also be woven quickly because, by just rotating the cards, all of the warp threads are crossed at once.

In this clearly written guide, as well as teaching the technique, the author demonstrates the potential of this form of weaving. This manual includes a chapter which takes the weaver through the process of setting up a warp and weaving a sampler using several techniques. Doing the sampler will assist the weaver in using the following chapters on multicolored warps, inlay, threading two holes per card, warp twining, and threading two cards as one.

Some types of on-loom cardweaving, such as inlay and double-faced honeycomb, can not be woven as quickly as their conventional counterparts, but, they can be woven on much less expensive equipment. Other on-loom cardweaving, such as warp twining and incorporating conventional cardweaving into a piece, would be very difficult, if not impossible, to do by usual weaving methods.

It was necessary for the author to develop a set of new instructions to describe the unusual manipulation of the cards. These are explained in a section called "Definitions and Rules", as well as throughout the text. Another section, "Hints", offers solutions to some of the problems that surfaced during the development of the technique. A final photograph shows some of the samplers used in this manual in their full lengths, both front and reverse.

This book is extensively illustrated with the author's photographs and line drawings of fabric and weaving techniques and the reader is sure to find that On-Loom cardweaving can become a satisfying and interesting expansion of the weaver's repertoire.



On Weaving

2003, Dover Publications
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Written by the foremost textile artist of the twentieth century, this handsomely illustrated volume provides an illuminating survey of textile fundamentals and methods from prehistoric to modern times. Unlike a guide or how-to book, it approaches weaving from a visual and structural perspective, with remarks by the author on the principles underlying the craft's techniques and appearances. Its extensive coverage includes hand weaving, the loom, fundamental construction, draft notation, modified and composite weaves, early techniques of thread interlacing, interrelation of fiber and construction, tectile sensibility, tapestry and design.

The author, a student and teacher at the Bauhaus School and a pioneer of modernist design, was the first weaver to receive a solo exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The wife of artist Josef Albers and a teacher at Black Mountain College, Anni Albers was among the primary forces in achieving recognition for weaving as an art form. Her sensitive and knowledgeable commentary - enhanced by 121 illustrations depicting tapestries, lace, blankets, and cloth from around the world - offers valuable insights to crafters, textile historians, collectors and all readers with an interest in textiles.

Park Weaves - Based on Dr. William Bateman's Manuscript

edited by Virginia I. Harvey
8" x 10 1/2" Softcover (96 pages)
1984, HTH Publishers
$19.95 Canadian ($16.95 US)

This is Shuttle Craft Guild Monograph Thirty-Seven

The Park Weaves belong to the unit class of threadings such as Summer and Winter and Bronson. With these, a set of prescribed threading blocks is devised and used in making the drafts, each block in order following a set profile. These blocks may be simple or elaborate. In the latter case, each block usually consists of two parts: a tie unit and a pattern group.

Dr. G. Bateman spent his retirement years weaving sample, first on an inkle loom, then on an eight-harness Missouri table loom. He progressed through Inkle Weaves, Overshot, Twill, Crackle, Summer and Winter and other established techniques to variations on these weaves, and finally to the discovery of new weave systems. The culmination of his work was a manuscript that documents his weaves.

This is the 3rd volume in a series that reproduces the contents of Dr. Bateman's manuscript documenting his work in weaving samples. These have been reproduced in 6 monographs by the Shuttle-Craft Guild with this volume being Monograph Thirty-Eight. The other 5 volumes of Dr. Bateman's work are titled: Bateman Blend Weaves, Boulevard, Chevron and Combination Weaves, Extended Divided Twill Weaves, Extended Manifold Twill Weaves and Multiple Tabby Weaves.

In these monographs, Dr. Bateman's text has been printed with no omissions, changes or alterations. His text, which is printed on a gray background, precedes the related text prepared by the editor. The only part of his manuscript that has been rewritten is the wefting directions. The information is the same, but the method of presentation has been changed to a more conventional form of tie-up and treadling. Missing samples were rewoven following Dr. Bateman's directions and using the choice of materials he suggested. The document is illustrated with treadling and tie-up diagrams as well as black and white pictures of the samples.

2005, Doramay Keasbey
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Originally intended as an updated version of the author's 1981 Pattern Devices for Handweavers, this book grew to become a complete guide to the pleasures of pattern weaving for handweavers at all levels of expertise. Twelve chapters begin with a survey of loom development and continue to describe designing and drafting. The final chapters cover loom-controlled pattern techniques from the simplest weaves to more complex hand-controlled methods.

Each technical section begins with thorough coverage of basic principles to provide a solid foundation. Beyond the basics, applications of uncommon facets of weaving are offered to inspire creative weavers to explore exciting concepts.

A major part of the book is devoted to loom-controlled techniques using ordinary handlooms. These are organized beginning with the simplest weaves followed by a variety of more complex constructions. A sound knowledge of these loom-controlled techniques is helpful to understand the hand-controlled methods that are covered in the final chapters. These cover pick-up methods and drawloom techniques for many different pattern weaves.

The book also has a chapter on "Drafting for Special Devices" which covers Dobby, Computer-Dobby, Shaft-Switching as well as Double, Triple and Split Harness weaving. Technical terms are printed in italics and explained in the text when first mentioned. There is also a glossary of specialized weaving terms in the back of the book, an annotated bibliography to encourage further reading, and a comprehensive index.

The author has also written the books Pattern Devices for Handweavers and Sheer Delight: Handwoven Transparencies.

1992, T. G. Windeknecht
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

The pinwheel shape appears as a colour-and-weave effect in a range of patterns from plain weave to multiple shaft constructions. In this monograph, the drafts and patterns are for four, eight and sixteen shaft looms and use two and three tones: dark/light and dark/medium/light. The size of the pinwheel ranges from a small shape with a sequence of one dark/one light in warp and weft to larger shapes with sequences of up to eight dark/eight light. Extended colour sequences of as many as forty eight threads create more complex patterns. The pinwheel shape also is used as a basis to create many tie-ups. The focus is on understanding ways to create your own unique patterns. It is up to the reader to translate the two- or three-toned effects into specific colours in the form of contrasting hues, shades or tints.

The author breaks the content of this monograph down into chapters with titles: Definition and Draft Notation, The Pinwheel: Colour-and-Weave, Colour-and-Weave on Plain Weave, Colour-and-Weave on Basket Weave, Colour-and-Weave on Twill, Eight Shaft Colour-and-Weave, Sixteen Shaft Colour-and-Weave, Developing a Tie-up Using the Pinwheel Motif and includes a short Bibliography and an Appendix that providing suggestions for further study.

Plain Weave is Anything But Plain

by Leslie Voiers
8 1/2" x 11" Spiral Bound Softcover (34 pages)
2000, Water's Edge Weaving Studio
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Plain Weave is a weave in which threads interlace in a consistently alternating manner of over and under warp-wise and weft-wise with each succeeding row interlacing in opposition to the proceeding row. It is the simplest and most common form of interlacement and probably used to a much greater extent than any other weave structure. Additionally it is perhaps the one weave structure that is most receptive to incorporating various and diverse forms of ornamentation.

This document exploring plain weave was created as a compilation of notes, illustrations and drafts that form the handouts for the author's workshop on Plain Weave. Crisp diagrams coupled with explanatory text help the reader understand these and the 19 clearly explained projects the author has put together allow them to experience it for themselves. There is also a set of instructions on creating a Colour and Weave Draft using a Log Cabin design.

Other monographs by Leslie Voiers include: Conversation & Notes on Log Cabin, Lace Weaves Portfolio and Winding Multi-Colored Warps with a Warping Paddle.

1977, The Cross Town Shuttle
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Welcome to the world of multiharness overshot. By adding four or more harnesses to an overshot weave, you open the door to numerous possibilities of block combinations. In traditional four-harness overshot, you can only weave one block on each side of the fabric at a time. This monograph discusses using eight or more harnesses to weave various combinations of blocks on both sides of the fabric at the same time.

The author starts by describing "Basic Overshot Characteristics" and "A Brief Thought about Four Harness Overshot" before explaining "The Repeat Twill Threading System", "The On-Opposites Threading System", "The Twill Sequence with Two Tie-Downs Threading System", "The Variation on the Twill Sequence with Two Tie-Downs Threading System" and "Application Possibilities for the Four Threading Systems". The final chapter covers "A Step by Step Method for Determining Tie-Ups" and is followed by a list of references.

This is an excellent monograph for weavers interested in multi-harness overshot. It contains many diagrams and black & white photographs of overshot patterns.



Pluckyfluff Handspun Revolution

2005, Pluckyfluff Publishing
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

Handspun Revolution is a simply written how-to book for very unusual handspun yarns. Addressing a growing movement of cutting edge spinners, this book discusses the role of creative thinking in the craft of handspinning.

This book is purposefully spartan. Volumes have already been written on the nuts and bolts of spinning. Handspun Revolution covers only the very essential topics of spinning, and these are discussed frankly, casually and often in the format of "tips" and notes. The book assumes a basic knowledge of spinning on the part of the reader.

The author focuses on the mechanics of making novelty yarns and includes lots and lots of glorious pictures of the final results. She also includes informative sections on what to look for when buying a spinning wheel, a list of different fibres and how they spin, and some brief notes on carding and setting.

As for the yarns themselves, the 24 examples she highlights have names like "Nubs", "Candy Stripe", "Loops", "Knots", "Scraps", "Spaced Sequins", "Sequin Clusters" "Sporadic Sequins", "Speckles", "Superslub", "Spider's Nest", "Fuzzing", "Mohairy", "Tornado", "Birdsnest", "Felted Yarn", "Shag", "Singles Coil", "Beehive", "Super-Coil", "Flowers", "Cotton Balls", "Uncarded" and "Treasure Box". Each is shown with a full colour photograph on one page and instructions and tips on the facing page.

The driving message of the book is the liberation of ones preconceived notions of what a yarn is. It tries to teach the reader to break the rules they've learned and push their own personal boundaries in spinning. A collection of original, never before published techniques are covered with easy instructions and beautiful color pictures.

The author has also written the book: Intertwined - The Art of Handspun Yarn, Modern Patterns, and Creative Spinning.

Rep Weave and Beyond

by Joanne Tallarovic
8 1/2" x 9" Softcover (160 pages)
2004, Interweave Press
NO LONGER AVAILABLE (CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT)

When was the last time someone told you a really great secret?

Joanne Tallarovic, a teacher and full-time studio artist, generously reveals how she modifies traditional Swedish ripsmatta (or Scandinavia rep weave) to create her highly prized handwork, well beyond its traditional use as a rug technique. With your jack, countermarch or counterbalance loom, you can produce a striking range of design blocks by threading multiple shafts with cotton carpet warp and varying the sett density. Often associated with rag rugs, rep is a simple weave structure in which the warp almost always covers the weft. While Scaninavian rep weave is usually characterized by bold geometric patterns, Rep Weave and Beyond has evolved the tradition by combining blocks in unexpected ways and introducing evocative contemporary colourways.

The 29 masterfully designed projects, which include table linens, rugs, and wall hangings, will lead you to your own explorations and innovations. Designed for beginning to advanced weavers, the projects are accompanied by step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations, and inspiring color photographs. Let rep weave infuse your weaving with a whole new look!

The collection of projects in this book are grouped into 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 8-block designs and include: "Checkerboard Placemats", "Chili Cook-Off Placemats", "Vermilion Cliffs Placemat", "1910 Revised Rug", "Saguaro Placemats", "Circle of Life Sash", "Homage to the Long Walk Placemats", "Hohokam Runner and Placemats", "Saguaro Cactus Runner", "Kayenta Runner and Placemats", "River Runnin' the San Juan Runner", "Red Rock Runner and Placemats", "August Garden Runner and Placemats", "Black Canyon of the Gunnison Runner", "Blue Saltillo Runner and Placemats", "Primrose Placemats", "Yomud Runner", "Hotevilla Runner and Placemats" and "Isabelle Placemats".

In addition to the designs, finishing techniques and care instructions are provided and a special chapter on adapting rep weave for other applications is included. This is the first book in the new The Weaver's Studio series of books focused on artists sharing their know-how and designs. The second book in the series is Woven Shibori.

The scheme of the book is simple. Eight Different craftspeople, all masterful weavers, teachers and writers, simply tell in considerable detail how they go about doing what they do. Where do their design ideas come from? What loom types and materials work best for them? The keystone to each chapter is a rug designed especially to illustrate the discussion with specific details. Plain weave, twill, rag, rya, warp-face and block weave rugs are all considered in depth; there are excursions into special areas like shaft switching and cardwoven selvedges to pique your interest. And tying together all this diversity and wealth of information is a thorough introduction by Martha Stanley that establishes sound perspective on equipment, materials, technique and design.

You'll pore over colour photographs of striking handwoven rugs in complementary interior settings. You'll find intricate processes clarified in accurate black and white line drawings. You'll empathize with the authors as they share their own successes and failures. But most of all, you'll be more ready than ever to go to the loom and weave your own rug. The authors are: Marilyn Dillard, Lynne Giles, Inga Krook, Hector Jaeger, Halcyon Schomp, Bryn Pinchin, Martha Stanley and Carol Thilenius.



Rug Weaving - Block Weaves and Shaft Switching

In this comprehensive video workshop, Jason Collingwood includes all the information needed to weave a successful, durable weft-faced rug. He begins with a discussion on tools and materials and then provides step-by-step instructions on how to warp the loom. Along the way he covers beaming for high tension, ensuring neat and durable selvedges and finishing the fringes. You will learn to create blocks of colour using the standard threading and then how to change the placement of blocks to place colour and alter the design. The method of manipulating the warp threads (shaft switching) allows almost unlimited possibilities of colour placement using only a 4-harness loom. Jason demonstrates on a jack-type floor loom to show you how to adapt any loom to shaft switching. As he takes you from warping to finishing, he shows you inspiring examples which he wove with the same threading, treadling, and shuttle sequence.

as a prerequisite to this course, the student should understand basic weaving terminology, know how to read a 4-harness weaving draft, and thread a loom. For materials the student will require a 4-harness loom, linen warp, wool weft, ski or stick shuttles, curved tapestry needle, and a temple. A detailed list of materials is included on the written insert to the video.

The instructor has also written the book Jason Collingwood's Block Weave Technique and we also stock Jason Collingwood Rug Yarn.
