What Makes WEFT Unique?
Single Topic Issues
Single topic issues allow us to deeply explore a weaving topic from every angle. Collecting issues of WEFT is like building your own comprehensive weaving library that you’ll refer to often.
How and Why
We don’t just cover the basics, we explore and experiment. Whether you need to build skills and be inspired or advance the skills you have and step out of your comfort zone, WEFT is for you.
Look and Feel
WEFT is an indie magazine that looks and feels different than other magazines. With 121-132 archival-quality pages and only 20% ads, you get more information and gorgeous photography.
WEFT will support, reflect, and teach the worldwide weaving community, inspire new weavers, and dig deep for the intermediate+ weaver.
Let’s Dig Deep
We want to dig deep into a topic, get to its core, explore different viewpoints and issues, experiment, and learn all we can about it. In the interest of diversity and a never-ending quest for knowledge, we go out of our way to find new and interesting things, historic and important things, and delve into things we take for granted. How it works, why it works, where it comes from, who’s doing it: these are the things we’re interested in and we hope you are too!
Let’s Keep Learning
Weaving is an ongoing journey; we aren’t looking for an ultimate answer. In weaving, there’s often no such thing. To that end, you’ll find WEFT Magazine exploring various approaches to the same concept, technique, or project, and encouraging weavers everywhere to find themselves in their weaving. It will not be uncommon to find divergent opinions in a single issue of WEFT, because that’s how the (weaving) world really is. We’ll do our best to carefully present the available facts and opinions, so you can find among them the truth that works for your own weaving hands.
