Monday Morning Weavers Explore Summer and Winter
Posted July 18, 2023
Monday Morning Weavers continue to explore Summer and Winter weaves. Summer and Winter is an example of a compound weave – with more than the two elements of a single warp crossing a single weft thread. S and W is a three-element weave – warp, tabby weft and pattern weft. The name is said to originate from the fact that one side of the cloth is predominantly darker- the winter side, and the other side is lighter – the summer side.
The versatility of Summer and Winter is demonstrated in these diverse projects from Monday Morning Weavers.
- cat motif, woven on 12-shafts
- blocks motif
- trees motif, and
- colorful tea towels.
