November/December 2007
Two (or More!) for One
In the May/June 2006 issue, Kate Lange-McKibben wove many different fabrics on
the same warp by changing weft colors and block treadling orders. This issue presents
ways to warp once for many projects—a great idea for weaving holiday gifts
as well as keeping your weaving interest fresh and lively for hours and hours. |

January/February 2008
It's All in the Weft
This issue focuses on the weft: for rag rugs and mats, weft-faced rugs and runners,
boundweave fabrics, and tapestry techniques. We’re also looking for projects
that introduce unusual ways of using pattern wefts, clasped wefts, compound wefts,
and inlay. |

March/April 2008
Coordinated Fabrics for Interiors
In the November/December 2006 issue of Handwoven, Sharon Alderman presented three
coordinated decorative fabrics for the home (a table runner, a throw, a pillow
top). Projects in this issue will show two or more coordinated textiles to decorate
a room: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom. |

May/June 2008
Lace in Summer Colors
Lace is great in white and natural, but it comes alive with color. This issue
will feature huck, Swedish, and Bronson laces using hot summer colors. Think of
clothing, curtains, picnic cloths, table linens, coverups, light wraps, and summer
scarves. |

September/October 2008
Weaving World Wide
Weavers get inspiration from other weavers more than from any other source. This
issue presents projects inspired by weaving around the world, from Japan, Scandinavia,
Guatemala, Peru, India, Africa, and more—both in design and technique. |

November/December 2008
Fulling and Felting
This issue explores the current fascination weavers have with what can
be created in the fulling process: feltlike fabrics, softly felted fabrics with
holes that don’t ravel, fabrics with waves and bumps from differential shrinkage—all
of the magic that can happen after the cloth leaves the loom. |
