What fun to go from treadled patterns to the simplicity of a rigid-heddle project with raffia that demands your full attention. When Kate used raffia for a Yarn Lab in Handwoven March/April 2020, it made her think about using raffia for placemats and coasters. Sure enough, Susan E. Horton had a set of placemats woven on a rigid-heddle loom in that same issue. Kate’s loom is narrow, but we hope you will find the raffia enticing for larger pieces, too.
These oversized color-and-weave coasters provide enough space for your mug—and a snack. Weave a few for yourself and a few to give.
