Overshot, Velvet, Shibori, and More
Imagine being able to weave overshot along the length of your cloth with just one shuttle or being able to weave terry cloth towels for your bath. All this and more is possible on just four shafts by using a supplementary warp. Back by popular demand, this sought-after book hasn’t been available for a long time.
The revised and expanded edition of the book includes almost twice as many projects as the original version. It comprises five brand-new projects and a fresh weaving structure. Handweavers will learn the easy warping method of weaving expert Deb Essen, as well as how to turn drafts for one-shuttle weaving. Additionally, Deb’s tips and techniques for warping a supplementary draft successfully are explained. Once you have mastered the warping, you can start weaving any of the projects using the weave structures Deb teaches you. The book features a variety of projects, each of which explores a different supplemental warp structure, including turned overshot, monk’s belt, Bedford cord, and even velvet.
This book is a must-have for handweavers of all levels who wish to explore weave structures that incorporate supplemental warps. The new edition of this highly sought-after book, which has been unavailable for a long time, includes 13 projects and eight weaving structures. It features five all-new projects and a new weaving structure. In this book, weaving expert Deb Essen shares her easy warping method, tips and techniques for warping a supplementary draft successfully, and how to turn drafts for one-shuttle weaving. Once readers have mastered the warping techniques, they can use any of the weave structures Deb teaches to weave any of the projects. Each project explores a different supplemental warp structure, such as turned overshot, monk’s belt, Bedford cord, and velvet. The best part is that no second back beam is required!
