Pasamo... with passion
I tried not to try – it turned out as usual…
It was supposed to be a loose selvedge, made quickly and with the least resistance. Hmm. Now I'm worried that my perverse plan to weave a "flak" for people who value price, not quality, won't come to fruition. When I started weaving, my selvedges weren't that strong, why!? ;P
The selvedge is quite narrow – 2.4 cm. It would be good for hemming a garment, or wrapping legs… or whatever you imagine. It is 8.5 m long.
As part of testing a new weaving technique on the inkle loom, a lot of meters of selvedge were created. The technique is fast, hence the name of the post. I wrote about it in the post Express weaving. All the selvedges are about 2 cm wide, and most of them are about 8 m long. Made from a mixture of wool from acrylic and traditional sheep. To tell the truth, it's a pity...
Last year's selvedges are hidden in a special basket, because I can't look at them anymore. This year's selvedges, on the other hand, make my work more pleasant, lying on the shelf. The sight of fresh products inspired me to write this post. The statistical summary looks as follows: - number of prepared warps: 9, - number of finished products: 11, - total yardage: 71 m, - average yardage per warp: 7.89 m, - weight...
Where did I end up…? A pistachio-cherry creation. However, I’ve been weaving a bit lately and have created a few selvedges, none of which have yet had a separate blog premiere (at most, they’ve been in a spoiler). Now, they’ll all be presented at once 🙂 All the selvedges are made of pure tapestry wool. So they’re quite thick and stiff. As usual…
From making a selvedge to publishing its image sometimes leads a long way. Through the forests of photographs… I was so happy that my camera took pictures almost by itself. Lately I only corrected the frame (and even that is not always) and the size. This time it was different. Red wool has always been difficult for me. I even suspected that maybe I was seeing this one wrong…
You could say I've taken quite a long break from blogging. But time and space are getting distorted again. So much has happened to me recently that I feel like my last post was half a year ago, and it's only been a month. Seweryn didn't discover the surprise too early - only in Łekno while putting on his shirt. But unfortunately we didn't see his face, because...
I recently made a colorful selvedge. It is 4.5 cm wide. It was supposed to be 9 m long, which is half a meter more than I had managed to make using elements of housing infrastructure. It turned out that all I had to do was make a certain modification to the way the warp was wound. The selvedge came out with a margin, because it is almost 10 m long. I estimate that…
