Huck Lace Weaving Patterns with Color and Weave Effects: 576 Drafts and Samples plus 5 Practice Projects
Join expert weaver and teacher Tom Knisely in his exploration of Huck Lace!
"Lace Weaves" are best described as loom controlled warp and weft floats on a Plain Weave ground fabric. The term "Color and Weave Effects" refers to a careful arrangement of light and dark colored threads in the warp and weft that weave into beautiful patterns. Log Cabin is probably the best known color and weave pattern. Combining Huck with Color and Weave orders opened the door to astonishing pattern possibilities. He then came up with four color Light and Dark, Complimentary Colors, Monochromatic, and Triadic colors. With 144 patterns and four color themes for each pattern, that's 576 patterns. Each pattern includes the full draft and a woven sample for reference.
Tom also includes full details for five projects that are perfect for weaving dish towels, mug rugs, baby blanket, and two scarves.
Huck Lace Weaving Patterns with Color and Weave Effects is an essential resource that you will turn to for inspiration and guidance again and again.

I was expecting more. Knisely tried 576 drafts on the same pattern using different colors in weft and warp and then varied his third and fourth tied up treadle. All in 200 pages a wire bound spine. Huck Lace deserves more credit. No more Knisely for me.

Lucky me, I have taken three of Tom’s classes in person (Bisbee Fiber Arts Guild ftw!) and have several of his videos as well, so when I was reading this book I could hear his voice in my head. (happy sigh) It’s wonderful. Concise but thorough explanations, plentiful examples, and even starter projects. And it is spiral-bound, so it opens flat. Perfect!

Wow. This is a cool book. shows different huck patterns and how they work with different colorways. I want to give this a try with some towels later.
