If you love a good diamond shape, you will absolutely love weaving diamonds! There is hardly anything in the weaving world that looks fancier than a piece of handwoven fabric covered in these gorgeous shapes.
Thankfully for us, there are multiple ways you can incorporate diamonds into your next project. So in today’s episode of A Handwoven Experience, I am walking you through some ideas on patterns, threadings, and more – all of them able to help you create lovely diamonds on your loom. Enjoy!
Show Notes –
Rosepath on 8 Shafts – I found a great article written by Jane Patrick on the Schacht website all about what you can do with rosepath on an 8-shaft loom. While I don’t have an 8-shaft myself, I can definitely appreciate the many, many variations you can create with it. Simply click here to check out Jane’s ideas – one of them may inspire your next project!
Bird’s Eye Twill – My, how time flies! Nearly 2 years ago, I published an episode of A Handwoven Experience all about bird’s eye twill and it feels like it happened yesterday. But it all ties into our current conversation about weaving diamonds. So step into my time machine and enjoy episode 112, “Bird’s Eye Twill”.
