The most valuable weaving loom

ByThe haberdashery

Today I present my most valuable weaving loom. Unfortunately, its historicity is a constant matter of dispute. Archaeological finds confirm the presence of such tools, but there is still no reliable study on their use in textiles. I suspect that there is a kind of scientific taboo in this area. Numerous, although fragmentarily preserved, relics are kept in secret warehouses and specially protected. The documentation is probably subject to censorship, and may even be written in code.

Is it possible to weave on such a loom?

P.S. The joke ends where someone starts using weaving sticks. It gets serious when someone writes to this instructions.

    At the beginning of March in Poznań I will have the pleasure of leading a workshop on weaving selvedges on a bardek. Agnieszka Jackowiak is responsible for the organization. The course is cleverly divided into a basic and advanced stage. You will be able to learn how to weave both plain and patterned selvedges, the secrets of which so many people are curious about 🙂 I refer you to the Hobby-wełna website, where you can find out more details.

    I get questions about how to weave patterns on a bardek. Especially for those interested, I decided to prepare a pseudo-guide. Supposedly, because it certainly won't be professional 😀 When you delve into the subject of weaving, you are amazed. The wealth of patterns and colors of fabrics is just the tip of the iceberg of delights available to everyone. Somehow these threads cross. Not by themselves - someone...

    I planned to post some photos of my looms to illustrate the story of their creation, but uncle Google does such wonders with searches that I didn’t want to give him any more reasons to mix and match. People looking for information about looms and weaving might be horrified… I’ll just tell you that initially the looms consisted of a few joists, which were the subject of mockery by a certain Lord…
