March/April 2008

Lines of Lace in Linen for a Table Runner
by Suzie Liles

2007

January/February 2007

In Sheila O’Hara’s letter to the editor (page 6): Sheila and her husband moved from the San Francisco Bay area in 2000, not to it.

In Anne Field’s article “Dévoré for Handwoven Scarves”: In Step 1, page 46, the warp should be 23⁄4 yd long instead of 21⁄2.

2006

September/October 2006

In Marvelyn Albert’s artice “A Knitted Look for Scarves Handwoven in Bead Leno,” page 50, the dental floss threader is needed for threading the fringe through small glass beads, not for threading warp threads through the snap rings to weave bead leno.

In Sheila O'Hara's "It's a Dog's Life: a Comfy Bed in Taqueté," page 59, the correct threading should be (the 7 was placed on the wrong row in the draft):

Huck is wearing the wrong (Bedford cord) coat in Ruth Morrison’s “Canine Couture: Coats for Your Best Friend,” page 64. Here is the right (doubleweave) coat.

January/February 2006

Correct tie-up
Here is the correct tie-up for Kristine Linn’s huck lace towels in the January/February 2006 issue, page 34.

Teach it with Towels
In Vicki Tardy's "Teach it with Towels: Swedish Lace," page 39, the correct treadling for sections f and g are:

Mop Cotton
The mop cotton listed for Tom Knisely’s rep-weave rug, January/February 2006, page 58, is 8 strands of 8/2 cotton (420 yd/lb for the bundled yarn). For the rug, you need 165 yd of the bundled fiber (or other mop cotton) or 1,320 yd of 8/2 cotton if you bundle your own.

2005

November/December 2005

Corrected reference
In the November/December 2005 Handwoven, page 64, Doramay Keasbey’s article, “4-Shaft, 4-Block Doubleweave,” should be cited as published in the March/April 2005 issue, pages 60–63.

September/October 2005

The yarn wrap in the Fabric Forecast for Spring/Summer ’06 (“Night at the Arcade ” palette) on page 76 is upside down. Read the yarn names in the opposite direction from the yarns on the wrap. Here is the correct lineup: Night at the Arcade Palette . (150 KB)

May/June 2005

Atwater Bronson Threading (page 40)
The “8x” threading repeat in Figure 2 for Barbara Walker’s Atwater Bronson lace (this appeared May/June 05, p. 7) runner should be above the center lace unit as shown here:

Tie-Up (page 51)
Here is the correct tie-up for the linen placemats by Barbara Elkins.

Warp Color Order (page 66)

The warp color order for Louise French’s shadow-weave circles scarf should be written as it is shown here (it is reversed on page 66) and both drafts should be read from right to left. Make sure that you place the warp with 26 blue ends (not 25 blue ends) on the same side of the loom where you begin threading (these numbers do not include the floating selvedges, which are added after threading).

March/April 2005

Swatch Collection Draft (page 70)

Here are the correct threading and treadling orders for Swatch #1 in Sharon Alderman’s “Swatch Collection #36.”

January/February 2005

Yarn Label (pages 36-38)

Note that the Soy Filk should be called Oasis (240 yd/g) in Norma Smayda's scarf ("Soy Silk and Bamboo Scarf.").

2004

November/December 2004

Back to Front with Two Crosses (page 56) To clarify the directions for placing paper on the warp beam in Peggy Osterkamp’s article “Back to Front with Two Crosses,” November/ December 2004, page 56: Fold in the edges of the packing paper 1" on each side. The fold extends beyond the edges of the warp, which is wound on only the single thickness of paper.
Color-aid swatch book (page 6) In November/December 2004 Letters, page 6, we gave $3 as the cost of the Color-aid swatch book. Unfortunately, that was a typo; the actual cost is $36.99 plus shipping. This is still a fabulous value! Look online for the color-aid numbers for all the Fabric Forecast palettes.
Sectional Beaming in Ten Easy Steps for Upholstery or Pillow Fabric (page 71) This is the correct draft for the upholstery fabric in Betsy Blumenthal’s article “Sectional Beaming in Ten Easy Steps for Upholstery or Pillow Fabric, ” November/December 2004, page 71.
September/October 2004 Sally Gelbaugh’s vest measurement (page 69) The correct measurements for the finished yardage for the back of Sally Gelbaugh’s vest (September/October 2004, page 69), is 231⁄2 " x 24".

March/April 2004

Satin and Tencel for a Shimmering Scarf (page 52-55)

In Patricia Townsend’s article “Satin and Tencel for a Shimmering Scarf,” Handwoven, March/April 2004, pages 52–55, the correct sources for handpainted skeins of 10/2 Tencel are Textura Trading Company and Yarns Plus.

Less is More: Understated Elegance in a Scarf (page 60-63)

In Barbara Walker’s article, “Less is More: Understated Elegance in a Scarf,”
Handwoven, March/April 2004, pages 60–63, all marks in the treadling sequence under treadle 2 in Figure 1 should be placed in the column under treadle 3.

This is the correct tie-up for the silk scarf in Karen Tenney’s article “Start with Silk for an Evening Scarf,” March/April 2004, page 34.

This is the correct treadling for the spot-weave bath towel in "Bath Accessories Au Natural," by Karen Tenney.

January/February 2003

What’s Hot in Fibers (page 32-34)

In Patsy’s article, “What’s Hot in Fibers,” (January/February 2003, pages 32–34), she was incorrectly described as living in Elk Grove Village, Indiana. Elk Grove Village is in Illinois. Also, some of you asked where you could obtain the yarns she features in her article. Many of them are available from Textura Trading Co.

2002

November/December 2002

Sylvia Houghton’s Undulating Overshot for Scarves (page 58)

In the November/December 2002 issue, in Sylvia Houghton’s “Undulating Overshot for Scarves,” the first instruction with the threading draft on page 58 should read “Thread from right to left” instead of “from left to right.” Read both the first row in the threading draft and the second row (to e) from right to left.

The thread on shaft 4, at e, is the center thread in the draft. When you reach that center thread, reverse the direction in which you read the draft and read it from left to right (the bottom row first and then the top). You can’t change the direction you are threading the heddles, of course. You will continue in the same direction in which you began.

May/June 2002

Blomqvist omitted

Blomqvist was inadvertently omitted from the list of suppliers in Handwoven, May/June 2002, as a source for 22/2 cottolin and 16/2 unmercerized cotton in a wide range of colors: Blomqvist/Nordiska Textil-Garner AB, Box 4039, Overlida, Sweden
S-512 84;www.clb.se.

Weaver’s Potluck caption

In Handwoven, May/June 2002, “Weaver’s Potluck,” page 38, the photo captions should be exchanged: Gudrun Polak wove the sample in the Book of Days; Ann Schaeffer wove the napkin fabric in the Weaver’s Guild of Greater Baltimore’s napkin book.

Spaced-Warp Lace Curtains (page 67)

In Jean Hutchison’s “Spaced-Warp Lace Curtains,” March/April 2002, page 67, the heddle count on shaft 2 in Figure 3a should be 328 and on shaft 3 it should be 324. In Figure 3b, the heddle count on both shafts 3 and 4 should be 176.

January/February 2002

Barbara Wittenberg’s tubular top (page 39)

The layout for Barbara Wittenberg’s tubular top (January/February, 2002, page 39) should show both sleeves closed and the center section open across the bottom edge of the diagram (the right side of the warp on the loom).

Yarn Chart (page 14)

Note that the wrong sett range for 60/2 silk is given in the Yarn Chart in the January/February 2002 issue, page 14. The sett range should be 30, 40, 48.

Rural Pennsylvania German Weaving 1833–1857 (January/February 2002, page 22) can be ordered from The Mannings at (800) 233-7166.

2001

November/December 2001

September/October 2001

Wedding Altar Hanging (page 42)

Here is the corrected treadling sequence for Patricia Springer’s wedding altar hanging (September/October 2001, page 42). See the corrected picks emphasized in bold.

Christmas Runner (page 76-78)

The profile threading draft for Margaret Heller’s Christmas runner (September/October 2001, pages 76–78) is shown below with the blocks labeled correctly. Although there are six rows in the profile threading draft, only five block letters A-B-C-D-E are indicated at the side of the draft in the article instead of all six, A-B-C-D-E-F. Block F always weaves background and is threaded at both edges of the cloth (in summer and winter, this means 1-8-2-8 is threaded four times on each edge).

Welcome New Weavers

In the "Welcome New Weavers" column in which we ask readers to let us know of beginning weaving classes, we printed the wrong phone number. The correct number is: (800) 272-2193 ext. 629. Please ask for Liz Gipson, Managing Editor.

May/June 2001

Overshot Shawl (page 77)

In the draft for Pat Palson’s overshot shawl (May/June 2001, page 77), there should be a 2x over the last pair of threads (2-1) on the left side of the second row in the threading.

January/February 2001

Huck Heaven: Linen Towels in Huck (page 45)

Errors in "Huck Heaven: Linen Towels in Huck" appear on page 45. In Figure 7, add at the right side of the threading: 1-2 x 5 (10 ends, plain weave selvedge). The repeat should then be threaded 12 times instead of 15 (600 ends), followed by the 2-3-2-3-2 to balance (5 ends) and ending with 1-2 x 5 (10 ends, plain weave selvedge); total number of ends = 625.

Project at-a-glance box

(sentences with corrections are the only ones included here):

Warp order and length: 625 ends 5 yd long.

Warp and weft spacing: 30 epi (2-3 in a 12-dent reed). Weft: 30 ppi.

2000
