A few colorful strips
Where did I end up…? A pistachio-cherry creation. However, I have been weaving a bit recently and have created a few selvedges, none of which have yet had a separate blog premiere (at most, they were in a spoiler). Now they will all be presented at once 🙂
All the selvedges are made of pure tapestry wool. They are therefore quite thick and stiff. As usual, they are tightly packed.
The green one is 5.55 m long and 2.5 cm wide.
The red one is 8.5 m long and 2.3 cm wide.
The blue one is as much as 10.3 m long and 2.5 cm wide.
45.7 m of selvedge

Fantastic! so even and all :) that blue one in particular caught my attention, it bothers me how you threaded the threads, that the middle (dashed) line is at a different height than the other neighboring ones… Because it's also woven on the shoulder? Right?
Enrich the beginner Krajkowa with new information^^
Thanks 🙂
At first I didn't understand the question at all... But I think I already know that it's about a kind of shift. The selvedge is smooth, i.e. made on a regular shoulder with a plain weave. The visual effect is a matter of applying the threads. There are 3 dark blue threads: 2 went through the slits and 1 through the hole in the shoulder. And between them there are still light ones.
Happy weaving 😀
