New Printed eBook on Waffle Weave

waffle-weave

There’s a new Handwoven eBook in town and as always Halcyon Yarn is your exclusive source for the printed version. This time around it’s all about waffle weave, perhaps one of the most lively and fun weave structures. It’s especially prized for producing highly textured surfaces with depth. Once removed from the loom and washed, the fabric is often reminiscent of a Belgian waffle, hence the name waffle weave.

The Best of Handwoven: Projects in Waffle Weave - eBook Printed Copy is a collection of twelve, 4 and 8 shaft patterns. Two of the projects are even woven on a rigid heddle. Projects include bath and kitchen towels, table mats and runners, throws and blankets, tops and jackets. You’ll also appreciate the“Waffle-Weave Handbook,” by Kathryn Wertenberger Meile, which gives thirteen threadings, tie-up and treadling drafts for different numbers of shafts—plus waffle-weave tips.

Almost any yarn is suitable for waffle weave, from linens and cottons to soft, fluffy wools. If you’ve never woven waffle-weave before you’re in for a treat. It’s easy to warp and quick to weave and there is nothing quite like releasing the tension and watching the waffle cells deepen as the threads relax. A word to the wise “remember to beat lightly”.

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. They’re a great resource for all weavers.
