Weft-faced Pattern Weaves: Tabby to Taquete

Author: Nancy Arthur Hosking

Travel beyond the traditional limits of boundweave with this comprehensive guide to weft-faced pattern weaves. Beginning and experienced weavers alike will learn how to plan, predict, and weave colorful, rhythmical patterns, charming folk figures, and geometric designs in fabrics that are decorative and durable. Fifty-three projects range from simple to complex weaves. Directions, patterns, and tips are provided for the plain weave, twill, point twill, rosepath, overshot, taquete, and samitum. It also features Coptic taquete and samitum re-creations and patterns from the Tunic of Tutankhamun. Engaging and informative text accompanies diagrams, illustrated samplers, and drafts with threading, tie-up, treadling, and drawdowns. This is the definitive work on weft-faced pattern weaves and is a must-have reference and resource guide for weavers and crafters alike.

Weft-faced Pattern Weaves

"I was looking for a resource of patterns to add designs to some table linens and kitchen towels. Wow, this book, as described, has a lot of patterns. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was actually an in depth study of creating weft-faced patterns. It contains a series of lessons that lead the reader to a deep understanding of how they are created. You could just use a pattern from the book if you want to, but learning the how and why behind the patterns aids in the whole weaving process. I hope to use what I learn to create some patterns of my own. The book is spiral bound for ease of use. It is a great resource, and would make a great study for a group of weavers."

Weft-faced Pattern Weaves

"This book is an incredible resource! It lists an amazing number of pattern drafts and includes instructions for samplers to be woven by the reader. The drafts include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, and 16 shaft patterns. Takes you from the very basics to the complex. Related drafts are grouped together. The explanations are clear, concise and easy to follow. I'm not and expert weaver but I am very glad I got this book. A definite worthwhile addition to any weaver's library."
