New Weaving ebook, Honeycomb Technique Series
Once again Halcyon Yarn has the printed version of the newest Handwoven ebook, Best of Handwoven Honeycomb - Technique Series - eBook Printed Copy and yet again it’s another you’ll want to add to your library. With its 3-dimensional quality, honeycomb is a weave structure that defies the traditional flat appearance of most woven fabrics. Honeycomb’s cellular structure resembles a bee’s honeycomb, hence its name. The textural effect makes it a great weave structure for bags, pillows, clothing and blankets. There are multiple threadings, as well as variations in yarn size and color that can be used in honeycomb resulting in variations in appearance.
Sharon Alderman gives a great introduction describing all the ins and outs of weaving and designing with honeycomb. This is followed by a swatch collection that will provide valuable hands on experience before embarking on a project. Patterns include placemats, throw, table runner, vest, baby bib, bedspread, laptop cover, bag, blouse and pillow. Nine projects for 4-harness and 3 projects for 8-harness.
Just a reminder, Halcyon Yarn is your exclusive source for “printed” versions of all the popular Handwoven eBooks. They are printed in full color on acid-free coated stock, saddle-stitched and ready for immediate browsing and convenient posting next to your loom. Booklets focus on a specific yarn, weaving technique or type of project, providing several patterns from previously published Handwoven magazines, each with detailed instructions and illustrations.
