Designing Woven Fabrics
Designing Woven Fabrics
Designing Woven Fabrics describes and illustrates Janet's method of designing functional woven fabrics based on the 2/2 Twill weave structure. It addresses the questions that students most commonly ask of her: How do you design fabrics? Where do you get your ideas from? How do you choose colour combinations? What can I do with the yarn in my store cupboard? The book, generously illustrated with over 200 colour photographs and over 100 weave diagrams is divided into three distinct parts.
"I have started to read your book and it is one of the best I have come across in weaving ever, you make it simple to understand even though weaving is far from simple." - Denise Phipps
Designing Woven Fabrics describes and illustrates Janet's method of designing functional woven fabrics based on the 2/2 Twill weave structure. It addresses the questions that students most commonly ask of her:
- How do you design fabrics?
- Where do you get your ideas from?
- How do you choose colour combinations?
- What can I do with the yarn in my store cupboard?
The book, generously illustrated with over 200 colour photographs and over 100 weave diagrams is divided into three distinct parts.
- Part 1 covers the construction and weaving of a Multiple-sectioned Sample Blanket developing the 2/2 Twill weave structure.
- Part 2 describes the principal design criteria available, such as colour, yarn and sett, to enable a weave structure to be developed into an attractive cloth.
- Part 3 details 50 original designs using weaves from the Multiple-sectioned Sample Blanket and applying the design criteria to them.
