One is mine, one is lost
Just last year I wove two woolen selvedges for friends so they could sew historical clothes. The first one has nicely matched colors, because I didn’t choose them 😉 The gray with red looks great. The pattern is my own idea – a simple pattern, but I think it’s quite charming. The width of the selvedge is 1.7 cm, length 7.7 m….
Plum border with something green
Another selvedge has been photographed 🙂 This is probably the longest of my selvedges – it is 10.65 m long. The width is 2.7 cm. The pattern is a combination of a zigzag and a herringbone. In the background and on the edges you can see dots, which came out by using a lighter thread.
January in numbers
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...
A few colorful strips
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…
Brown Series
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…
Pokemon
I'm almost afraid to use this word, because uncle Google will start referring Pokemon hunters or collectors to my blog. Fortunately, I don't have a phobia about it - I remember that there was some cartoon with funny creatures, but the wave didn't take me. Actually, neither of the two waves: delight and mocking criticism. I won't describe the genesis of the selvedge,…

I invite you to my blog for a distinction 🙂
Thank you for the distinction, which can be found here: http://marrgott.blogspot.com
beautiful selvedge. I'm looking for patterns for selvedges, I'm just starting out and I have a question, how do you read patterns and create your own?
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 😀
