Preview Introduction
The new third edition of
Traditional Shirred and Standing Wool Rugs is more than doubled in size
from the 1996 edition and not only includes more information about the
traditional techniques but also never-before-published techniques and
variations.
The book's
instructions include:
---Standing wool rugs, including
beaded rugs and milleflore
beaded
rugs.
---Three varieties of faux shirring are included: sewn, crocheted and
awl
faux shiring.
---Four varieties of center shirring: sewn, Snow-on-the-Mountain,
two-hook
and the bent hook
crocheted shirring.
---Edge
shirring and mono-shirring.
---Plus two
bonus chapters: Postage
Stamp rugs and
Caterpillar Rugs.
The Handbook section has been
completely revised to include recycling clothing from t-shirts and
jeans to sweaters and socks into fabulous, reversible rugs. Like all of
the Handbooks, it is not a "craft" book, but a
true handbook for the textile explorer.
