After striving to create flat, consistent fabrics for most of her career, Anne Field discovered a new kind of weaving that emphasised the flexibility and movement of yarns. This new method of weaving, termed Collapse Weave, started appearing everywhere she looked in museums and books - it was an ancient form of decorative weaving largely overlooked by modern weavers. Collapse weave can be created by contrasting yarn factors, or combining weave structures that react with each other to create ridges and hollows. The deliberately pleated and puckered fabric produced has a flexibility of movement that makes it lovely to wear, and the uniqueness of the weave means the artistry of the weaver can be seen in the cloth. As Anne says 'The hand of the maker' is evident in the fabric, making each piece created an original artwork. This is the kind of weaving that can only be created by hand, and is extremely satisfying to produce. Instructions are clearly written and easy to understand, and the book is fully illustrated with examples of the kinds of cloth produced, and clear, easy to follow diagrams. This guide opens the door to an exciting form of weaving.
