WEFT The Magazine for Handweavers
Issue 3 Winter 2025

The Table Issue
Every winter WEFT focuses on an end-use topic and this winter it's Table! In this issue you'll find a few stunning projects to dress your table, but the issue also dives deep into the hows and whys of creating textiles for your table.

Wondering what fibers to use for table linens? Which ones stain more or less? Which ones hold a crease better? Stand up to wear and tear? Which fibers absorb spills better? Do you worry about your handwoven table linens getting ruined by hot pots and skillets? We look into what kind of heat a range of fibers can handle a (and can't handle).

There are articles to help you hem your linens, to seam a large tablecloth, and to get inspired by the space around you. This issue has drawlooms, damask, blended drafts (and how to create your own), and 6 projects that will leave you eager to weave!

Projects included:

• 4-shaft (1)
• 8-shaft (4)
• draw loom (1)
