Sample stock

The selvedge from the previous post became the upper edge selvedge for the apron made on a vertical loom. I wove an additional thread through it, which is the warp.
While it was being created it looked like this:


The looms have their permanent place by the chimney, although they often leave it to travel with me (in time and space). They are already equipped with all the elements necessary for weaving and now they need to get the appropriate number of meter-hours of practice. I used a tong to create the pattern, because the weft does not fall off and it is easy to weave through the individual warp threads.
The apron is quite loosely woven, because it is just a practice session to gain skill.

    Last year was a successful one – at least in terms of weaving. I may gradually be able to report here. I have made some progress in the area of weaving on vertical looms. Previous attempts were different – usually time-consuming and not very engaging. I already have two weft samples from a tapestry with a linen warp and two mixed cloths, so it came…

  • Vertical weight looms

    I planned to post some photos of my looms to illustrate the story of their creation, but uncle Google does such wonders with searches that I didn’t want to give him any more reasons to mix and match. People looking for information about looms and weaving might be horrified… I’ll just tell you that initially the looms consisted of a few joists, which were the subject of mockery by a certain Lord…
