Free 8-Shaft Weaving Patterns for the 8-Shaft Loom
I’ve owned my 8-shaft loom for just over a year, but it’s only recently that I’ve started weaving projects that require “more than four.” Honestly, I could probably have woven nothing but 4-shaft projects for the rest of my weaving life and been perfectly happy. However, as I work for a weaving magazine, I figured it would probably be best to take the leap and dust off my neglected shafts 5 through 8.
After my first 8-shaft project,I fell in love. Robyn Spady recently explained to me that you can weave every structure except for loom-controlled satin on a 4-shaft loom. But you have much greater design possibilities on an 8-shaft loom. After weaving my first few projects, I am completely hooked on 8-shaft weaving. I can’t wait to get my current 8-shaft project on the loom so I can warp up the next.
If you’re looking to get into 8-shaft weaving, or if you’re just looking for some new projects to weave, Weaving Today’s new eBook Free Weaving Patterns for the 8-Shaft Loom has three fabulous 8-shaft projects that will whet your weaving appetite. From shimmering Tencel to a combination lace and overshot in bamboo and just a hint of luxury knitting yarn, there is much to love in this new eBook.
I hope you will join me on my journey in 8-shaft weaving, and that you'll enjoy it all as much as I do.
