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 me, spring started at the end of January. A larger dose of warm light + wildly chirping sparrows in the form of ruffled balls attached to the hedge. Apparently there were frosts and snow later - I didn't notice. But I finished the border for the Wielewit team. It is 8.5 m long and 3 cm wide. Made of Oliwia, an acrylic-wool yarn. It is very…

    After a break related to a trip to Beijing 😉 and smaller matters, I finished weaving on a wound warp. Today I took poor photos, but I and the camera are the best we can do – correcting the colors in Photoshop didn’t help either. Only the pattern is correct 🙂 Each of the selves is a bit over 4 cm wide. The lengths are as follows: 2.25 m, 1.6…

  • Sheep's selvedge

    I have some wool yarn bought together with a huge supply of worsted. The yarn is twisted individually, quite loosely. I have already woven it on vertical looms and I know that it tears. It was time to test it in weaving selvedges. I started by tightening the yarn on the spinning wheel. The impression was pleasant – it was the first time I had such an even yarn. I don’t have…

    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…

  • Eastern style selvedges

    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…
