Woven Scarves by Patrick Patrick

Explore and practice weaving techniques for fabulous scarves! Woven Scarves offers a collection of twenty-six scarves and variations that range in difficulty from advanced beginner to very complex. In highly approachable ways, authors Jane Patrick and Stephanie Flynn Sokolov introduce new weavers to a broad sampling of weaving techniques, exploring various ways of creating cloth on a rigid heddle loom. Weavers learn how to create lovely scarves that are creative, classic, and fun to make and wear. Using various weave structures, color, yarn combinations, and techniques such as felting and embellishment, the authors take you through the basics to a jumping-off point for personal exploration and creation. Woven Scarves will support new weavers in their desire for appropriate patterns and better skills as well as a deeper understanding of fibers, types of weave techniques, and all the varieties of fabrics that are possible—even to beginners.

"With innovative ideas and careful attention to detail, this book delivers exactly what the cover promises, inspired designs not only for the rigid heddle loom but with drafts included, shaft weavers as wellSidebars provide all manner of useful information so be sure to watch for them. From dressing the loom to fulling, beginners will find everything they need to get started weaving with confidence and as their skills develop, provide challenging new ideas to try. Without a doubt, this is one of the better beginner weaving books available." --Monsters and Critics

"Both brand new and experienced weavers will not be able to wait to try them all out!" --Kick Ass Book Reviews

"Get started...you will have gifts for everyone." --Hartford Knitting Examiner

"The projects are much more sophisticated than any I've seen for this type of loom and the use of color and texture is fabulous. This book can teach a beginner how to make a scarf, but more importantly, the wonderful fabric creations inspire one to go beyond scarf-making. The authors also teach techniques such as felting, fringe twisting, pom-pom making, fulling, dying--even a step-by-step instruction how to deconstruct a sweater to re-purpose the yarn." --Knit and Travel
