Pasamo... with passion
Today I'm showing you woven strips made from coarse wool tapestry yarn.
I made 2 belts with solar symbols to order.
The remaining warp was used to create a strip with a simple weave, 1.9 m long and 3.5 cm wide.
60.9 m of selvedge

Today the weather gave me a chance. It's raining, so I'm sitting at home and I can write something. Photographing the selvedges required the use of additional lighting, but that's not a problem. A lot of nice things have been happening lately. There was a lot of work, walks in the Bydgoszcz Forest in May. The inkle loom was created with the joint efforts of the family. It's big and heavy, because it's not a table version, but a slow...
I decided to finally remind you about myself and show that I still weave 😉 I present a selvedge made based on the find from Opole in my color version. The selvedge is 8.3 m long and 1.7 cm wide. The material was provided by Joanna Hajduk. The yarn is very thin, single-twisted, hand-spun and dyed with madder. The description of the find is in the book: Early medieval textiles from excavations in Opole…
The blog title has selvedges, but in the content of the posts there seems to be not enough of them. I decided to fix that. I would like to show each new selvedge. Here is a selvedge with a standard length… for me, which is 10 meters. It is 1.8 cm wide. It would be best for hemming a garment. The pattern on it is quite simple, but if you consider the tool…
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,…
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….
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…

I really like the second one. I like the black and red combination, and the pattern is great.
Great post. I'll definitely be here more often.
