Summary

🧵 Master weaver and textile studio owner Loomis Threadwell is preparing for the prestigious Handweavers Guild exhibition when the guild's powerful president—a notorious traditionalist opposed to modern techniques—is found dead in her studio, tangled in the warp threads of her largest floor loom. The police suspect a tragic weaving accident, but Loomis notices the tension has been deliberately sabotaged and the victim's guild notes contain coded messages about pattern theft. With her studio closed for investigation and the weaving community in knots, Loomis must thread her way through this complex tapestry of clues. Assisted by her weaving apprentices and the handsome textile engineer analyzing fiber stress points, Loomis uncovers a scheme involving stolen cultural patterns, unauthorized reproductions, and a plot to undermine traditional weavers. From suspicious tension inconsistencies that reveal intentional tampering to fiber blends that don't match cultural traditions, every thread in the warp and weft tells a story. But when Loomis discovers the victim was systematically appropriating indigenous weaving patterns for commercial profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more intricate than any tapestry. With the guild exhibition approaching and the real pattern thief still weaving deception, Loomis must shuttle through the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently tangled in the loom.
