Tom Knisely - Handwoven Table Linens

Master weaver Tom Knisely presents patterns and ideas to spruce up your table with new weaves

Tom Knisely, author of bestseller Rag Rug Weaving and Handwoven Baby Blankets, has now turned his attention to one of the most popular categories of weaving: table linens. Placemats, runners, tablecloths, and napkins play a central role in creating the look of a dining room or kitchen table, and this book gives you the tools needed to realize your vision for these special items.
Tom has found inspiration from things as varied as china patterns, a classic Spode Christmas tree, and traditional weaving patterns such as Shadow Weave, Wheel of Fortune, and Star of Bethlehem. For each pattern, he outlines the materials you need, how to set up your loom, and the pattern to weave. Add your own dash of inspiration if you choose different colors, and make each piece your own.
The 27 patterns include simple weaves worked on 2- and 4-harness looms, as well as more complex weaves requiring more harnesses. Because Tom is at heart a teacher, he also chose each project with the thought that it should add to your weaving repertoire in some way. The techniques you learn as you work on the projects in this book are things that you can adapt and use down the road in future weaving.


                                                   From the Author                                                                        Welcome to my collection of patterns for handwoven table linens. The opening chapters in this book will prove helpful to both the beginner and the intermediate weaver. I learned a lot myself in researching the history of linens and wanted to share this with you.        
                                Besides the historical perspective, you’ll find inspiration in history and art. Today we have at our disposal so many wonderful materials to use. Cotton and linen threads are just as much in fashion today as they have been for hundreds of years, but we now have synthetic fibers to choose from that make cleanup and washing a breeze. I have also presented some useful finishing techniques that will not only make your efforts attractive but will help them look good for a long time.
