From language to execution to testing to experimentation, this issue is thorough and beautiful. A range of talented and brilliant authors put plain weave through the paces. Through the lens of plain weave, this issue delves deep into denting, sett, “permanent” creases, draw-in, take-up, shrinkage, combining different fiber types, adding texture, perfect selvedges, the effects of yarn’s twist direction, and so much more. Plus, projects! There are several gorgeous projects.

It's all about dressing your loom. If you think that sounds basic, we assure you, it’s anything but! There's something in the Warp issue for everyone from beginner to advanced. Jane Stafford kicks off the issue musing about finding the perfect warping method for you (but not being afraid to try something new). Then the issue jumps into all the different ways of warping including step-by-step instructions and photos for: F2B, B2F, sectional, and supplemental (with and without an extra beam). Justin Squizzero talks about warping with multiple ends and Janet Dawson wants you to save time and worry with folded warps (including a wonderful project). Suzie Liles makes sure you know all about supplementary warps, Janet Phillips teaches how to turn a draft, then Deb Essen combines the two in a stunning project. Madelyn van der Hoogt shows us how to keep a warp alive forever. We have three articles on different winding on helpers: a trapeze, donut weights, and a valet. Then we asked some of our favorite weavers what they use as warp separators and their answers may surprise you. Want to know about painted warps? It's in there along with a stunning project. You'll read about getting perfect tension (and fix it when you missed the mark) along with fixing threading errors and sleying slip-ups. We also cover the differences (pros\/cons) of warping boards and mills, how to cut off samples and save your tension, and more! It’s truly a stunning issue filled to the brim with smart, gorgeous weaving information.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PortFiber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46670274461944,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1938\/8137\/files\/IMG_1270_db5940b9-7667-4473-a67f-a3bb864b9141.png?v=1754065857"},{"product_id":"weft-magazine-issue-3-table","title":"WEFT Magazine, Issue 3: Table","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinter 2025: Table\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery winter WEFT focuses on an end-use topic and this winter it's Table!
