4-Shaft Technique Trio #1: Turned & Telescoped Drafts

Technique Trios are designed for weavers who want to dive deep into a technique over a series of patterns. Each collection includes three patterns exploring the same technique from different angles, plus all the yarn you need to weave them. 

Our debut Technique Trio is designed by Madison Potter, who you may know from her Turned Taqueté Towels, Crackle Weave Napkins, and Cascade Runner. This collection explores two draft-manipulation techniques: Turning and Telescoping, both of which allow complex-looking fabrics to be woven efficiently on a 4-shaft loom. 

Three projects—a Crackle runner, an Overshot tea set, and Telescoped towels—each show a different facet of what’s possible. If you've ever wanted to get more out of your 4-shaft loom, this is the rabbit hole worth scampering down.

Even more beautiful in person

So far I have only made the runner and I’m in the process of putting the warp on my loom of the placemats. I love the quality of the fabrics and the sturdy finished product. I also love that there is plenty of product so no worries about running out.
