PDF Handwoven Home: Weaving Techniques, Tips, and Projects for the Rigid-Heddle Loom with FREE EASY Reading!

Liz Gipson is rapidly becoming a go-to expert on the rigid heddle loom. She is one of a new breed of weavers who are lifting this loom out of the realm of a child's toy into a serious and highly portable weaving loom that can create complex and marvellous fabrics that can be used in the home, just as those from a 4 or more shaft floor loom are. She is also a "wicked enabler" who can persuade us that we do not need a cumbersome treadle loom, but will have plenty of space for yet another rigid heddle loom that takes up so little space when not in use, but thats for you to discover when you take a look through this book and read the projects and discover the lovely versatile looms she uses.This is more serious in content than many of the other rigid heddle books around as it ratchets the standard of weaving on these looms up a notch or two. Upholstery has always been a mainstay of the 4 shaft loom, requiring specialist weaving yarns rather than the knitting yarns that most rigid heddlers start off with, but that said, you will be pleased with how easily you can transfer your knowledge to the more serious stuff of yardage rather than scarves, bags and shawls, with the odd jumper or jacket thrown in. She goes into the reasons why you would want to use proper weaving yarns, rather than knitting yarns, and gives a run-down on what is on offer to the modern weaver, and what all the different sizes mean, because, of course, they differ according to what the yarn is made from. But it is simply explained so its not frightening or overwhelming.The book is laid out in chapters that cover the various rooms in the house from kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and lounge, and, after demonstrating quickly how to warp your loom Liz gets straight in with colour and weave, stripes and plaids, and which includes houndstooth, a rigid heddle stand-by which is amazingly effective, and later expands into Krokbragd and log cabin, as well as twills woven with a second rigid heddle attached to your loom. Luckily most loom-makers are abreast of this and your loom should be adaptable. Liz also shows how to do pick-up and inlay, and a few lacy designs, as well as using a few strategically placed rows of birds eye twill as an accent. Projects include a couple of rugs, one using rags, an afghan or throw, pillows and cushions, as well as towels, cafe curtains, facial cloths and kitchen cloths, which will far outlast the store bought ones and become a much in demand item from family and friends.That will sort your holiday gifts for the next 10 years or so!Liz also includes how to warp for doubleweave with your double heddle kit so you can get a double width plainweave cloth, and how to finish your cloth, on and off the loom, with attractive fringe finishes where appropriate or hemming.This is the equivalent of the how to weave on a 4 shaft loom books, except you are not using four shafts, you are using a work-around on 2 rigid heddles to get the same result, and your woven fabric is joining the big time. Liz is an experienced weaver with a lot of experience with Interweave and she carries on a tradition passed on by Betty Davenport to bring innovative and exciting weaving to everyone who does not have room for a large floor loom. This book proves that tradition is in safe hands! Liz is currently involved in online weave-alongs using patterns and projects from this book, for those that enjoy a class atmosphere, and cannot attend her workshops physically.
