Description
Weaving Textiles that Shape Themselves by Ann Richards is an inspiring guide to creating unique fabrics through high-twist yarns. By combining different yarns and materials, you can create textiles with lively textures and elastic properties that transform when washed. This book explains the processes and potential of this approach, offering practical know-how and advice for designing with high-twist yarns. From simple plain weave to more complex structures, techniques are covered to suit both beginners and experienced weavers. You'll learn how to vary yarn twists and weaves across fabrics, creating rectangular pieces that change shape when washed. This innovative approach can result in "loom-to-body" clothing requiring minimal cutting and sewing, making it a great way to create unique garments with ease. With its focus on experimentation and creativity, this book is perfect for anyone looking to push the boundaries of traditional weaving techniques.
