Get ready for an afternoon in the park with a bright and beautiful pin-loom picnic blanket, or set your table at home with fine linen towels for the rigid-heddle loom and sweet and simple-to-finish fringed napkins. You’ll also find a set of tablet-woven mug rugs (yes, really!), two lightweight silk blend shawls perfect for summer evenings, and so much more!

You’ll also:

• Follow along with Tom Knisely as he takes you on a journey through the lifecycle of linen, from flaxseed to finished cloth.
• Discover the tips and tricks Malynda Allen uses to weave with fine linen threads on a rigid-heddle loom in her low humidity home.
• Take your tablet weaving to new heights—and widths—by using a rigid-heddle loom.
• Warp once and get two different projects—a set of towels with a coordinating shawl.
