Pokemon

ByThe haberdashery

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 will not describe the origins of the selvedge I am presenting today. Well, maybe I will write one thing: Pokemon conkreciarz.

I used coarse tapestry yarn in exceptionally lively colours 😉 The result was a nice wide strip, a little over 2 m long.

Spring

ByThe haberdashery

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…

Warm browns

ByThe haberdashery

I present a variation on the find from Ostrówek in Opole. I chose a harmonious color scheme of warm browns. I modified the pattern, leaving the grosgrain weave in the middle. The rows are tightly compressed, so the selvedge is quite stiff and solid, and it came out wider than I expected for the number of threads in the warp (3.4 cm). I managed to break the length record and came out 8.6 m….

Pastures grazing

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…

Fantastic border

ByThe haberdashery

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...

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…

The selvedge I’m presenting today is quite unique. I started it at the beginning of summer and I wasn’t in any hurry to finish it – I was testing a small inkle loom, which is very handy and a selvedge that has been started doesn’t bother anyone. I was also testing new yarns – new to me, because unfortunately the manufacturer has stopped production. The most important thing is that I finished it in…
