Weaver's Craft Issue 19: Log Cabin and Where It Leads

Each issue provides in-depth information on a weaving-related topic, as well as several projects.

From the publisher's website:

Log cabin is a color-and-weave effect in plain weave with rectangular areas of horizontal or vertical lines. Ripsmatta or warp rep is a variation that crowds the warp ends closely together. The color interaction is enhanced by weaving one row with a very heavy weft and the next with a very fine weft. Shadow weave alternates dark and light yarns in a weave structure more elaborate than plain weave. Projects include Spring Showers Baby Blanket in plain-weave log cabin with space-dyed and solid-color yarns alternating, Bamboo Shoots Rep Placemats with a heavy string yarn weft, Chenille Scarf and White Scarf in an easy-to-treadle shadow weave, and Crocus in Snow Towels and Grape Harvest Runner in shadow weave.

• The easy way to interlock two alternating wefts at the edges of plain weave
