Plain Weave

by Tina Ignell

The latest from Tina a comprehensive study of 2-shaft stripes, plaids, color effects, and so much more. Renowned weaving expert Tina Ignell ( Favorite Scandinavian Projects to Weave , Favorite Rag Rugs , Simple Weaves ) turns her attention to the deceptively simple and endlessly adaptable category of plain weaves, in this exhaustive overview of techniques, sample projects, and inspirational possibilities. Combine a wide variety of materials, setts, beats, and other effects with just two shafts—though sometimes four is preferred for the sake of space—and you'll be astounded by the technical complexity, visual and textural effects, and stunning pattern styles you can achieve.

Overall, some nice ideas. Not perfect for rigid heddle. Layout confusing.

Some interesting ideas, but I found the patterns to be incomplete or at least needing a bit more information to fully understand the process.

Excellent reference/resource. Photography detailed for serious understanding along with specific technical details for replication and or further creative exploration.

Heavy on the inspiration, very light on detailed instructions.
