手織りのタータンチェック
明石恵子著,B5変形判224頁(オールカラー)
タータンやグレンチェックのマフラーやショールを自分で織ってみませんか? タータンとはイギリスのスコットランド地方の伝統的な格子柄(チェック柄)のことです。人気のスコットランドチェックを卓上織り機などの織り機から作ることができるデザインパターン集です。2015年9月に発売された『手織りのためのスコットランドチェック』に、リジッドルーム(卓上織機)から始められる平織りのデザインと工程を加え、大幅改訂しました。本場スコットランドで織りを学んだ著者は、タータンをはじめ、さまざまなチェックの手織りのデザインを研究。適した毛糸を現地より直輸入し、東京の教室を拠点に、スコットランドチェックの手織りの知識と技術を伝え広めています。本書は、手織り初心者がトライしやすいように、リジッドルームを使ってチェック柄を織る方法、平織のチェックデザインを多数収録しています。少しずつステップアップして、最終的には自分でデザインしたチェックを織れるように、整経の方法やデザインの仕組みなどを写真や図版を使って詳しく解説しています。既刊本で掲載した綾織りのデザインにも平織りの組織図を加え、初心者から経験者まで幅広い層に使えるよう配慮しています。
