Celebrate the weaving of the modern world and all the innovations available to weavers with the September/October 2020 issue of Handwoven devoted to Thoroughly Modern Weaving. The projects and articles in this issue explore weaving software, modern yarns such as Tencel and Seacel, and the ways weavers take advantage of the modern tools and resources available. Also in this issue, Tom Knisely talks about tying on warps, Sherry Taylor writes about Tlinglit weaver Lily Hope and her Chilkat weaving, and Christina Garton gives a brief history of hemp in the U.S.
