PAINTING WITH THREAD

Weave your way to a wonderful piece of wall art, with this fabulous new book by Australian weaver Kristin Carter. Tapestry Weaving for Beginners and Beyond, is a collection of woven hanging projects that teaches you the skills you need to create your own family heirlooms. You’ll need just one A3-sized loom to complete all 17 projects, which you can make using an old picture frame (instructions for doing so are in the book). There’s even guidance on how to design your own hangings and bring precious photos to life in thread. David & Charles, £16.99.
