THREE-DIMENSIONAL TEXTILES | WITH COILS, PLAITS, LOOPS AND NETS

This is an important book for textile artists looking for new ways of working in two and three-dimensions, using the techniques of interweaving, looping, twining, knotting, netting and coiling. Traditionally used in basketry and net-making, these simple techniques – that need no machinery and no looms – are perfect for textile artists looking for fresh ideas. A range of tactile materials can be used in these techniques, from yarns to hemp, nettle string, leather, fabric strips and fine rattan to polythene tubing and plastic packaging tape.
