Magic In The Water
By Master Weaver Laura Fry
Wet finishing is an art form in itself and doesn't just consist of washing your woven fabric. If you have not taken a course in wet finishing then this book is a must have for your weaving library. It is any weaver's dream reference book.
Magic consists of 22 projects that include drafts, weaving and wet finishing instructions AND 44 handwoven samples (22 before wet finishing and 22 post wet finishing). Woven samples include a huge variety of fibres including, wool, silk, cotton, alpaca, cashmere, angora, linen, mohair, bamboo and soy silk too. Every project has a professional colour photograph by professional photographer Joe Coca (photographer to Handwoven) of the finished piece. Proper wet finishing really is magic in the water and you will be amazed at how different the before and after samples are. This book is a masterpiece. Below are some sample pages.
