Radical Potholder Weaving

MAKE THE JOURNEY FROM POTHOLDERS TO WOVEN ART

Inside this book you’ll find more than 100 patterns for your potholder looms: in plain weave, shadow weave, and twill. The majority of these are new, never charted for the small loom before, and the rest are strong classic patterns chosen to complete the collection. One chapter teaches you how to convert floor loom drafts for the potholder loom, reverse engineer any potholder, and chart your own design. Others introduce you to intriguing weaving techniques—and of course basics are explained: sources, tips, heads-up advice. Look inside!

It is our hope that this book will catalyze your creative energy, opening a door to new territory beyond. The weavers who are the soul of this book—Mary, Christine, Andréa, Kendal, Paula, and Deborah—all know, from experience, this: There’s a certain space inside of us all ready to expand, and this expansion gives us a sense of spacious freedom, creative inspiration, and delight. We wish this for you, and may your journey be a happy one!
