January in numbers

Last year's selvedges are hidden in a special basket because I can't look at them anymore. This year's selvedges, on the other hand, make my work more pleasant, lying on the shelf. The sight of fresh products inspired me to write this post.

The statistical summary is as follows:
– number of prepared warps: 9,
– number of finished products: 11,
– total area: 71 m,
– average footage per warp: 7.89 m,
– weight of all selvedges: 1.05 kg,
– average weight per meter: almost 15 g,
– weaving time: 104 hours,
– average time to weave a meter: 1:28,
– therefore the average length per hour: 68 cm.

You just need to know the length of the selvedge, the weaving time and use the scale, and there are so many numbers to juggle 😉

January was very effective, because I wove almost half of last year's yardage. Probably because I was testing a new technique for weaving these most ordinary selvedges. This year there will be no resolutions and no counting of yardage on the blog. Unless someone challenges me, like last time. Incidentally, we forgot to decide who wove more, but that was clearly not the goal... And above all, quality counts, and my "competitor" weaves beautiful selvedges mainly using tablets. So we also use different tools that are difficult to compare.

The selvedge tower is still growing…

  • Second green series

    I finished the green yarn, and the yarn finished me. This time I didn't touch up the colors, so that you could compare how I see these selvedges and how the camera sees them 😉 The warp is the same as in the case of the brown selvedges. So this series is a bit wider than the previous green ones. The swastikas fit in elegantly. I also went a step further in the variations...

  • For warming up

    I hereby announce the opening of the workshop. I am fulfilling outstanding orders and preparing fresh assortment 🙂 After a long break, I am returning to weaving on the bardek. To warm up, I made a short selvedge – it is only 5.5 m 😉 Even though I am not used to it, it is quite dense.

  • for Seweryn

    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...

  • Green Series

    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…

  • Spring

    For me, spring started at the end of January. A larger dose of warm light + wildly chirping sparrows in the form of ruffled balls attached to the hedge. Apparently there were frosts and snow later - I didn't notice. But I finished the border for the Wielewit team. It is 8.5 m long and 3 cm wide. Made of Oliwia, an acrylic-wool yarn. It is very…
