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.

  • Tricolor

    Today, I am happy and proud to present new technically and visually advanced selvedges 🙂 I have long wondered whether the warp-pulling method could be used to obtain more colorful selvedges. Up until now, I have been weaving two-color patterns. Of course, I am not mentioning the fact that the warp can be divided lengthwise into stripes of different colors. I made a few drawings then and came to the unfortunate conclusion that…

  • 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…

  • for Seweryn

    In Ląd, 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...

    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,…

  • For warming up

    I hereby announce the opening of the workshop. I am fulfilling outstanding orders and preparing fresh assortment 🙂 After a long break, I am returning to weaving on the bardek. To warm up, I made a short selvedge – it is only 5.5 m 😉 Even though I am not used to it, it is quite dense.
