Noh Coat Challenge ANWG 2023 Conference
ANWG invites weavers to join them in weaving cloth for, and making, American designer Bonnie Cashin’s Noh coat as it appears in Threads Magazine Oct/Nov 1990 No. 31.
The coat is very simple and is especially suitable for handweavers who do not sew often. The coat is unlined, does not have set-in sleeves, and has binding for the edge. This means that the coat is all about the quality of the cloth. This design wears well on all sizes and shapes of women. ANWG hopes that anyone interested will weave the coat in time for the ANWG conference in Bend in June 2023. The more the merrier. It would be a spectacular expression of handwoven cloth. This is not a juried event, but there will be some event to show off the coats at the Conference.
Visit the ANWG conference site for additional information.

2016 Holiday Sale Bread Cloth
These limited edition bread cloths were a real hit at our 2016 Holiday Sale. Now you can weave your own!
This pattern is based on handweaving.net draft 61154.
Our cloths were woven with 10/2 mercerized cotton. We used UKI #140 (safari) for the warp and UKI # 132 (red hot) for the weft. In addition, a few very popular clothes were woven with blue or green wefts.
