For the father of the director

ByThe haberdashery

I don't like this selvedge (for many reasons), so I'm making an alternative one now... But I don't know if the director will like the second one 😉

    Last year I decided to put a bit more threads on the very, design a more complicated pattern, weave a piece and leave such a half-finished selvedge to show the technique of weaving. My presentation lasted even 2 months, but I couldn't stop weaving and had to rework the entire warp. In September I made myself a second warp to show weaving techniques during…

  • Birka patterns my way

    After the exam, I felt like repeating a pattern from Birka. I like a few of them in particular, and this time I decided to play with combining motifs. I chose two fragments from two finds and added a connector of my own to fill the background. I wove using a yoke loom, because the pattern required the use of a large number of warp threads. The width came out quite large –…

  • Warm browns

    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….

    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…

    The material crisis has passed with the arrival of a full bundle of yarn. The colors will now be quite natural, and the selvedges will be difficult, because the wool is hard and rough. If so, I will make it more difficult and make the selvedges very patterned. I only wonder what my hands will look like after working through the whole bundle – maybe I will find a way to make the most effective peeling in the world. Each…

  4. Lunaris, thank you for visiting and praising 🙂
    I was a bit confused by the question of how to read patterns, because I don't know 🙂 It's like this for me, that while weaving a selvedge, I get ideas for 3 more. I can't keep up with implementing them, so I at least draw the designs on paper.
    There are some finds that can be guessed… or rather reconstructed 😉 – as you gain technical skills, figuring out the pattern becomes easier.
    After seeing your works, I am convinced that you will not lack creativity 😀
