Description: Weaving Textiles That Shape Themselves sounds like a contradiction in terms but this book sets out to show how textiles can do precisely that: shape themselves. Weaving with high - twist yarns and contrasting materials can create fabrics with lively textures and elastic properties. Although these fabrics are flat on the loom they are transformed by washing - water releases the energy of the different yarns and the fabrics 'organize themselves into crinkled or pleated textures.
