More complicated

Following the advice, I'll try the html mode. The image is still on the left, even though the style is "center" and I've added align center. But I can add non-breaking spaces. And I really have better control over all of this. If something falls apart, it's only my fault 😉

Recently I had the opportunity to make a slightly more difficult selvedge. A bit… Very thin yarn, some warp threads thinner, others thicker and cotton cord, i.e. uneven elasticity. The pattern on the margin is small and made of single threads. And all this in a small size – width 1.7 cm. Sometimes I think it's some kind of irony of fate that such nasty things behave ;P

I won't give you my progress today because I haven't ridden a bike, I'm making a selvedge... nice, from kosher wool, but I'll add its length when I finish - in the meantime I'm missing the thread, and I'm only a little over half a meter to go. I'm also sewing a skirt for the heat. Theoretically it was supposed to be like in the stories, a typical Slavic, roomy shirt with narrow sleeves. That's all I managed, but in practice it turned out that this style doesn't suit me.

  • for Seweryn

    In LÄ…d, it finally dawned on me that it would be necessary to take care of Seweryn's historical clothes. It is obvious that a shoemaker walks without shoes, but this cannot be transferred to his loved ones. A shirt that I sewed last year required particularly quick intervention - a new shirt, but without trims, with scabbed (oh, the spell checker knows this word) edges...

  • 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 –…

  • Fantastic border

    I worked on this border for quite a long time, but it's finally here. I finished it in Ląd. I'm only posting about it now, because I couldn't handle the photo. It's hopeless anyway... but let others take care of the photography 😀 The length is 8.7 m, and the width is 2.8 cm. The material is a nice yarn made from a mixture of real sheep wool and...

  • Brown series again

    This is the second series of brown stripes. The number of threads and the arrangement are the same as before. The patterns are different, because I try never to repeat myself. It's a waste of time, and there are so many ideas. Weaving from coarse yarn is laborious and a bit off-putting. The effect is quite interesting, so that's the only reason I didn't throw the wool in the farthest corner, so...

  • Many-witted

    Again, I'm quite behind on writing. That's because, for an unemployed person, I've had a lot of work lately ;P I present the selvedges that I made especially for the Wielewit team. Patterns and colors reserved 😀 The selvedge on the left is 2.2 cm wide and 6.5 m long - it was originally 12.8 m, but it was cut off. At the back lies a selvedge that is 2.5 cm wide...
