Every weaver loves weaving hand towels!

They are small in size and weave quickly, are perfect for using up small amounts of yarn, make great gifts, are perfect for beginners and for learning new techniques, and they are eminently practical, and you need new ones now and then. This collection of hand towel patterns is just the reference you need! With 43 designs in a variety of weave structures, from easy to advanced patterns, for both 4- and 8-shaft looms, there are plenty of patterns to explore and learn from while you make practical towels.

Crackle Weave Simply: Understanding the Weave Structure 27 Projects to Practice Your Skills

Finally, an easy explanation of Crackle Weave!

Susan Kesler-Simpson now explains Crackle Weave "simply." Her teaching style is to break down the weave structure into its basic parts so that it is easy to understand and then teach you how the parts work together to create the weave structure so that you can use any pattern or create your own.

Overshot Simply: Understanding the Weave Structure 38 Projects to Practice Your Skills

Overshot is perhaps the most iconic weaving technique--think antique coverlets and fancy table runners--yet many weavers are intimidated by its complex-looking structure. But it doesn't have to be difficult! In this book, Susan Kesler-Simpson makes overshot approachable by breaking it down piece by piece so that the weaver understand how it works, and then she puts it all back together so that weavers will have the confidence to make their own overshot patterns or to try any of the 38 overshot projects she has designed for the book.

Creative Treadling with Overshot: Explorations in Weave Structure & 36 Projects

Step out of the weaving comfort zone and experiment with something new!

Weave structures often have specific threading and treadling patterns that are unique to that particular weave structure and not shared with others. This book takes you out of the traditional method of weaving overshot patterns by using different treadling techniques. This will include weaving overshot patterns as Summer/Winter, Italian manner, starburst, crackle, and petit point just to name a few. The basic image is maintained in each example but the design takes on a whole new look!

Shadow Weave Simply: Understanding the Weave Structure 25 Projects to Practice Your Skills

Add Shadow Weave to your repertoire with Susan Kesler-Simpson's easy-to-follow instructions.

Susan's approach is to first break down the structure of Shadow Weave so that any level weaver can understand how alternating light and dark threads in both warp and weft can present a dominant motif outlined with an identical shadow. She walks you through how the structure builds and weaves, and once you comprehend how the weave structure works, you will be able to weave any of the 25 project patterns in the book. You will also have the knowledge to transform other drafts to Shadow Weave, or to design your own Shadow Weave pattern.
