Laces made of good yarn

ByThe haberdashery

I decided to finally remind 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.

Material 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 / Jerzy Maik, 1991. The photo and detailed analysis were made by Alice. She also added an encouragement to help yourself :).

I just noticed that there seem to be two borders similar to this one missing from the blog. I don't see me bragging about them anywhere – horror! 😉 they're only on picasa.

    Last year I decided to put a bit more threads on the very, design a more complicated pattern, weave a piece and leave such a half-finished selvedge to show the technique of weaving. My presentation lasted even 2 months, but I couldn't stop weaving and had to rework the entire warp. In September I made myself a second warp to show weaving techniques during…

    After a break related to a trip to Beijing 😉 and smaller matters, I finished weaving on a wound warp. Today I took poor photos, but I and the camera are the best we can do – correcting the colors in Photoshop didn’t help either. Only the pattern is correct 🙂 Each of the selves is a bit over 4 cm wide. The lengths are as follows: 2.25 m, 1.6…

    Following the advice, I will try the html mode. The image is still on the left, even though the style is "center" and I added align center. But I can add non-breaking spaces. And I really do have better control over all of this. If something falls apart, it's only my fault 😉 I recently had the opportunity to make a slightly more difficult selvedge. A bit…

    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...

    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…
