WEFT issue 6 - Cotton
We are excited to offer print copies of this wonderful magazine from the USA. WEFT is a well established magazine for hand weavers and is as informative and collectable as its sister publications PLY (spinning) and PURL (knitting), taking a deep dive into a new subject with each issue.
WEFT's Autumn issues are all about foundation building, and this time we focused on cotton. Cotton is the foundation of many weaving practices. Chances are, if you’re a weaver, you’ve woven with cotton, and probably very recently. This issue is a celebration and exploration of this humble and historied fibre.
Jane Stafford opens the issue with a beautiful article about how cotton is the building block of her weaving, in all its different incarnations. From there we get the basics, including cotton types and differences, cotton counts, and the ins and outs of mercerization. The issue delves into natural dyeing; the differences in how cotton yarns are spun; and how to finish your cotton projects. We also challenge cotton with an article and experiment that tests what we’ve all heard about this staple in our weaving repertoire.
And of course, there are gorgeous projects that all feature this versatile yarn. We’ve got krokbragd place mats from Angie Parker; a deflected doubleweave table runner from Natalie Drummond and Linda Gettmann; a pi scarf from Marian Stubenitsky; intricate towels from Janet Phillips; a stunning breezy tunic from Michele Belson; a bright blanket from Joanne Hall; and a travel wrap from Sandi Lemons. There’s enough in here to keep you weaving all season!

I love this stuff, it makes it so easy to transfer embroidery/ Sashiko patterns, I just trace the pattern then sew over the top and it washes away under a running tap.
I bought the threads for a project that I am embroidering. The picture is a tree stump that I took a photo of many years ago. The threads are exactly the colour that I needed and I’m looking forward to completing this project.
Lovely thread, it’s has a slight sheen so reflects the light and the colours are gorgeous. It’s lovely to sew with and doesn’t split.
This product is exceptional. It did what I expected. It left very clean, neat punched hole through layers of folded Corsetry Coutil fabrics I am working to insert the busk part with studs. Other fabric hole punchers would difficult to work with and required a lot of muscle strength just to pinch a hole into fabric and often not done very cleanly. The punched hole technique with the Nonaka Japanese **** Punch tool worked effortlessly and with less hassle to use. Therefore, from my own recent use of this product, I would recommend this **** punch highly.
This was an excellent colour match for the garment I wanted to repair. This was the only website where I could find a wide range of colours and not just beige, browns and blacks. Would certainly be my first choice if I needed to darn again!
