Weaving Outside the Box: 12 Projects for Creating Dimensional Cloth

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:
  • four for beginning weavers
  • four for intermediate weavers
  • four for advanced weavers
As a bonus, there are two patterns that allow you to weave three different projects on a single warp.
 
"Weaving Outside the Box provides the tips and resources you need to move beyond the two-dimensional plane and rectilinear patterns of warp and weft."

  • Project One: Deflected Doubleweave Scarf on Four Shafts
  • Project Two: Woven Shibori Scarf on Four Shafts
  • Project Three: Antelop Canyon Shawl on Four Shafts

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
