Complex Weavers Sharing Information - Encouraging Interests

Complex Weavers Sharing Information - Encouraging Interests: This month's showcase is 'Christmas Cheer' by Barbara Nelson Barbara writes: 'My 'Christmas Cheer' hand towels were woven as gifts this past holiday for family, friends and business associates. I was excited about this project because I put on my longest warp ever using my new sectional beam and AVL warping wheel. I wound on a 48-yard warp that was 24-inches wide and used 10/2 mercerized white cotton. I never tired of weaving these towels because I loved my 14-harness twill which used 10/2 red and green 10/2 mercerized cotton weft. This was also my first opportunity to use a temple that a friend of mine said I would love to hate. She was right. I hated how often I had to move the temple but loved the results of my even selvages.' This work won the CW award at Dallas Handweaver and Spinners Guild, 'Sleight of Hand' Dallas Public Library, Dallas, TX, April 15- May 30 2006 To see earlier works showcased, go to To see the other items showcased in 2006, click Showcase 2006

New Showcase at Complex Weavers

In April, we feature Cynthia Broughton's Kokopelli. She gives us many details of the problems she overcame in making a tied weave which shows both a Kokopelli and a semi-background plaited twill! Go to http://www.complex-weavers.org/. You'll like her subtle shades of blue and green, though we couldn't really capture them onscreen. In March, we featured Jeté Jardin D'Eau by Nicole Grenon but I forgot to post here to remind you. Go to http://www.complex-weavers.org/shwcs06.htm to see. Can you guess (or do you remember enough French to figure out what Jeté Jardin D'Eau means?
