Handwoven - May/June 2015

This issue of Handwoven offers texture to delight the hand and eye. Dianne Totten presents parrot-bright "crimp cloth." Sarah Jackson's "fuzzy tote" and Patricia Morton's grasscloth journals will brighten your days. David Wismar evokes the smooth texture of a snakeskin with Tencel and twill, Yoko Arai intrigues us with the textural pleasures of shifu (Japanese paperweaving), and Elisabeth Hill brings liveliness to your kitchen with her Danish rosette towels. Summer is upon us, so we also have weaving projects to do with kids or just for fun. And in case warm days have you daydreaming about new possibilities, Tom Knisely philosophizes on how to choose the perfect loom, and Marilynn Cowgill and Jill Graham relate their adventures in the Handweavers Guild of America Certificate of Excellence program.
