Weaving Outside the Box

by Denise Kovnat

Learn how to create exciting dimensional cloth with “Weaving Outside the Box” with Denise Kovnat. Pleats, ruffles, and waves are easily achievable once you understand how to apply the right yarn and process. Denise begins with a clear discussion of the various techniques, and a great explanation of the why and how to achieve dimensional cloth through the exploration of the cloth structure, differential shrinkage, and active and passive yarns. Then learn by doing through the 12 projects, with step-by-step instructions and informative graphic illustrations.

There are four projects each for beginning, intermediate, and advanced weavers. As a special bonus, there are two groups of projects that allow you to weave three different projects on a single warp with the same threading. Four projects require only 4 shafts, and another 5 projects use 8 shafts or less. Three projects included use 14 - 16 shafts.
