First Cats for Fences

ByThe haberdashery

… but without the cat, because Janek didn’t push himself to do any work or take pictures this time. He sniffed the new workbench, rubbed it with his cheek, and even tried to jump on it once. He even took a nap at the stand. He quickly got bored with the new equipment, and even putting on some colored yarn didn’t change that.

For now I have peace and I can weave things like this:

The selvedge is in a brown tone and is 7 m long and 3.5 cm wide.

For fun and practice, I experimentally made a wide plaid ribbon.

The result is 3.5 m long and 8 cm wide.

Express selvedges

ByThe haberdashery

As part of testing a new weaving technique on the inkle loom, a lot of meters of selvedge were created. The technique is fast, hence the name of the post. I wrote about it in the post Express weaving. All the selvedges are about 2 cm wide, and most of them are about 8 m long. Made from a mixture of wool from acrylic and traditional sheep. To tell the truth, it's a pity...

Krajka in a new place

ByThe haberdashery

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…

Brown Series

ByThe haberdashery

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…

for Seweryn

ByThe haberdashery

In Ląd, it finally dawned on me that it would be necessary to take care of Seweryn's historical clothes. It is obvious that a shoemaker walks without shoes, but this cannot be transferred to his loved ones. A shirt that I sewed last year required particularly quick intervention - a new shirt, but without trims, with scabbed (oh, the spell checker knows this word) edges...

A series of selvedges in national colours

ByThe haberdashery

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…
