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.

  • A few colorful strips

    ByThe haberdashery

    Where did I end up…? A pistachio-cherry creation. However, I’ve been weaving a bit lately and have created a few selvedges, none of which have yet had a separate blog premiere (at most, they’ve been in a spoiler). Now, they’ll all be presented at once 🙂 All the selvedges are made of pure tapestry wool. So they’re quite thick and stiff. As usual…

  • A series of selvedges in national colours

    Among the dwindling supplies of yarn I had 2 skeins of pure thick wool. The red and white look beautiful. I'm just a little sad that the association with the national flag comes to some people as if with simultaneous disgust or a kind of shame. I'll be disgusted if someone associates my selvedges with a pop culture overgrown dwarf that has been flying before our eyes for…

  • 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…

  • Tricolor

    ByThe haberdashery

    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…

  • This year's patterned

    ByThe haberdashery

    Recently I have created a lot of simpler selvedges, but I have also made a few spun ones. They all have patterns from finds and are in the form of stripes. Plain weave, picking technique, and the raw material is wool. I had additional trouble with the first selvedge – I wove it on a yoke loom at shows in variable conditions 🙂 Birka B12, Sweden Birka B12, Sweden Birka B2,…

  • January in numbers

    ByThe haberdashery

    Last year's selvedges are hidden in a special basket, because I can't look at them anymore. This year's selvedges, on the other hand, make my work more pleasant, lying on the shelf. The sight of fresh products inspired me to write this post. The statistical summary looks as follows: - number of prepared warps: 9, - number of finished products: 11, - total yardage: 71 m, - average yardage per warp: 7.89 m, - weight...
