Pasamo... with passion
When you have leftover materials at your disposal, you can create such "miracles":
The selvedge is made of cotton cord. It is 3 cm wide and 2.3 m long. I finished it with fringes on both sides. It is pleasant to the touch and quite stiff. I will boldly put it this way: it is showy 😉
The blog title has selvedges, but in the content of the posts there seems to be not enough of them. I decided to fix that. I would like to show each new selvedge. Here is a selvedge with a standard length… for me, which is 10 meters. It is 1.8 cm wide. It would be best for hemming a garment. The pattern on it is quite simple, but if you consider the tool…
This is the second series of brown stripes. The number of threads and the arrangement are the same as before. The patterns are different, because I try never to repeat myself. It's a waste of time, and there are so many ideas. Weaving from coarse yarn is laborious and a bit off-putting. The effect is quite interesting, so that's the only reason I didn't throw the wool in the farthest corner, so...
As I wrote, that's what I did. The red (i.e. cherry) selvedge with a gold (i.e. yellow) pattern is ready. It's supposedly made of a more plastic yarn (75% wool from acrylic sheep), but it turned out to be more atmospheric - it's a bit rough to the touch... or maybe fuzzy. The previous, woolen 50% was woven as if from plastic bags ;P It turned out that the maximum possibilities of the current...
I present another selvedge. The original comes from Ostrówek in Opole and is dated to the 4th quarter of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century. I used factory yarn, 100% wool. The number of threads in the warp is identical to the original, but my yarn is thicker, so the selvedge is also wider - instead of 2.5 cm it is 3.2 cm. Plain-grosgrain weave. Length 7.7…
I tried not to try – it came out as usual… It was supposed to be a loose selvedge, made quickly and along the path of least resistance. Hm. Now I have concerns that my perverse plan to weave a “flak” for people who value price, not quality, will not come to fruition. When I started weaving, my selvedges were not that strong, why!? ;P The selvedge is…
Today I won’t hide my pride in the woven selvedges 🙂 The impulse to get down to work came from Jadobra, who wanted a belt with S-straps. She sent me a few photos with the selvedges selected and said: copy them. Unfortunately, I don’t know the author of the originals – as soon as I find out who they are, I’ll definitely add them. Edit: I received information that…
