Pasamo... with passion
I decided to make a border that would match the striped pattern woven long ago on vertical looms. I have an idea of the final product, but its execution will have to wait for its turn and an even longer time.
21.35 m of selvedge
1:07 driving time
12 km distance
Unfortunately, I don't ride a bike - it was just a one-time trip for relief. In the meantime, Mrs. Winter gives me one last chance to enjoy the legendary long evenings.
In keeping with the medieval tradition, I would like to make a fabric “that is useless” someday. I certainly know how to make fabrics that are good for nothing ;P While still in Biskupin at the Festival, I finished a long-hanging warp. The result was a piece of questionable quality fabric measuring 130 x 43 cm. There is a selvedge at one end…
Our shelter looked impressive last year… especially because we pitched a tent under it. That’s the whim of people with imagination 😉 But more importantly, the shelter was attached to the ground with self-made guy ropes. These guy ropes are yet another proof that I have a fondness for wide-spread colors, i.e. motley. I made the ropes from wool…
The selvedge from the previous post became the upper edge selvedge for the apron made on a vertical loom. I wove an additional thread through it, which is the warp. As it was being made, it looked like this: The loom has its permanent place by the chimney, although it often leaves it to go on a journey with me (in time and space). It is already equipped with all…
Last year was a successful one – at least in terms of weaving. I may gradually be able to report here. I have made some progress in the area of weaving on vertical looms. Previous attempts were different – usually time-consuming and not very engaging. I already have two weft samples from a tapestry with a linen warp and two mixed cloths, so it came…
Someone took a picture of me during the festival in Ląd. I like it a lot, especially since it's not often that you see a shot without contemporary accents. Our father director chose a good spot for the camp. The picture comes from the Szlak Piastowski website.
I planned to post some photos of my looms to illustrate the story of their creation, but uncle Google does such wonders with searches that I didn’t want to give him any more reasons to mix and match. People looking for information about looms and weaving might be horrified… I’ll just tell you that initially the looms consisted of a few joists, which were the subject of mockery by a certain Lord…

The time between the time is an interesting concept… anyway, the colors are nicely matched 🙂
