How great would it be to deliver food in to a neighbor or bring for a party and then leave the bowl for them to remember you by? The rope I used was stiff, so it really keeps its shape. I love using the rope in this context as it provides such an amazing texture. You will find detailed photographs in the book to show you how. I weave this bowl with a twining technique, which sounds complicated, but is super easy to do. But, I couldn’t not share the twined woven bowl! It may just be my absolute favorite no-loom projects from the book.

I’m saving a couple of my favorite no-loom weaving projects for my upcoming video series where we’ll make some of the projects from the book side-by-side.
I don’t think she meant her feet only, but there she is. These are on my daughter, who I promised would be in the book. Love her! Her participation means so much to me.īack to the coiled medallions, the book shows them as shoe toppers, which I also love. She made a road trip of it with her husband – 16 hours driving total just to be in the book. Truth: I begged her to come from Utah to be in the second and she enthusiastically agreed. Of course, I’m in love with Morgan, the model, who was in my first book. You can form them a bit as you coil and make baskets or platters as well. These coiled medallions with rope and twine, or raffia and yarn would make a great placemat, centerpiece, or wall hanging. The thing I love about these no-loom weaving projects is that you can change the materials and transform the scale and look of the entire piece following the exact same direction. These coiled medallions follow a traditional basket weaving technique but in mini-version. They call them ‘bamboo wives’! Love that! Well, this one won’t be cool to hug, but huggable nonetheless. After more research, I found out that in Korea, they used to weave the hard bolsters with nothing inside as an alternative to hug something well-ventilated while they sleep through the hot nights.

It did a number on my brain to figure out how it worked, and how to explain it to you, but it was worth it! I love the results! The mixture of velvet ribbon and linen brings lots of softness and texture to the piece, too. I was curious about it and was inspired to figure it out and try one in softer materials. Did you know we shot the book in various spaces all over Colorado? (More details at the bottom of the post).Įarly on in my research for the book, I saw a Korean bolster that looked like an empty pillow with a hard shell of cane or bamboo woven in this pattern. Not shown is the fabulous wood burning fireplace (but it was red!). The entire space has concrete floors and simple framed 2x4s covered in a corrugated plastic – such an intriguing construction and use of simple materials. First, the minute I saw the hanging chair in the lobby of the Amigo Motor Lodge in Salida, CO, I knew that we had to shoot the bolster in it. The ribbon bolster pillow up above was so much fun to figure out how to make and shoot.
While I do that, don’t forget we’re still in the pre-order period, so don’t forget to check out the bonus DIY kit you could get if you submit your receipt for a pre-order purchase. Plus, I want to share some more behind-the-scenes stories.
I used traditional techniques for some of the projects, and just wove free-hand for others. Now I get to share some of my favorite no-loom weaving projects from Weaving Within Reach! You can make all the projects in this post with no loom at all. No-Loom Weaving Projects From Weaving Within Reach
