Plus, four of the projects are for 8-shaft looms, four of the projects are for 4-shaft looms, and one project is for a 2-shaft loom.

In her Traditions article, Sara Bixler gives you the history of the Shakers and their weaving and then teaches you their twisted-weft technique in her shaker-inspired rug. Then, Sara Goldenberg gives her philosophy of design and how she lets the yarns guide her as she warps and weaves on her rigid-heddle loom. Enrich our weaving world with some of the yarn blends featured in the January/February 2019 issue of Handwoven.
