Scarves and shawls are fun to weave. They require no cutting or sewing and they can be woven on the simplest looms, yet they turn humdrum outfits into eye-dazzlers. This newest collection from Handwoven magazine includes 15 projects in glorious colors and intriguing weave structures in a wide range of materials from silky soft, woolly to gossamer, dressy to practical. Give them as gifts, use them to enhance a wardrobe, drape them on a couch or chair to enjoy, or hang them on the wall and call them art. Why not?
DESIGN COLLECTIONS: More than a dozen well-designed, fun-to-weave projects are presented in full color with complete weaving instructions in each of these thematic collections.
