Complex Weavers Sharing Information - Encouraging Interests

Complex Weavers Sharing Information - Encouraging Interests: "Joyce Robards contributed this sample (a small part of which is shown here) for the Sample Exchange - the Old Fashioned Way Study Group. She writes: 'I have been fascinated by all the weaving options there are on what is essentially a huck threading-from the traditional Interpretation as a lacy 'linen' weave to the very interesting interpretation in Helene Bress's The Weaving Book, in which she illustrates huck threadings woven as bound weave. Many years ago, along the way, I became acquainted with Klara Cherepov's 1972 original, self published book Diversified Plain Weave and have done much exploration with the structure and offer a workshop in it as well as including it in virtually all of my workshops on huck. 'This spring I took a 'busman's holiday' to take a Thick'n'Thin workshop with Barbara Decker and that re-kindled my long term interest in diversified plain weave. Despite the ease and 'neatness' of Madelyn van der Hoogt's 'new DPW', and in most cases, despite the design limitations, I prefer the 'original' version for its variation in surface structure."
