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.
