STRICKLER SERIES 2018

Carol Strickler's Book, Eight Shaft Weaving, is full of wonderful weaving drafts.
 I've had the threading from page 52 on my Baby Wolf loom for a year now. There are 11 different patterns that can be done with that threading just by tying the treadles differently and treadling in different sequences. 
I have tried most of them but there are 4 that are favorites of mine and one in particular that I keep getting requests to use.




Here are some of the ones I've done this year: 

All of these are woven with lyocel Tencel. All of the warps are hand dyed yarns. Most are from Yarntopia Treasures in New Mexico. The wefts are various solid colors of 8/2 or 10/2 lyocel Tencel
