Have a backstrap and make a backstrap… Backstrap is actually a term for a belt with which the weaver attaches to the fabric being created. It provides comfort above all – even distribution of the warp tension 😉 So, to weave on a backstrap, you need a backstrap, which is best woven on a backstrap 😛 And if you don’t have a backstrap, too bad – you have to use…
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…
I present a variation on the find from Ostrówek in Opole. I chose a harmonious color scheme of warm browns. I modified the pattern, leaving the grosgrain weave in the middle. The rows are tightly compressed, so the selvedge is quite stiff and solid, and it came out wider than I expected for the number of threads in the warp (3.4 cm). I managed to break the length record and came out 8.6 m….
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...
