Krajka in a new place
The selvedge I’m presenting today is quite exceptional. 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 stopped production. The most important thing is that I finished it in a new place. We’ve had another move, this time maybe we’ll live here longer. I took advantage of the beautiful August weather and weaved sitting on the stairs to my future – currently present 😉 – studio.
I took the photo in our garden, and the background for the border is holly. The pattern is one of the classic motifs found in Norwegian folk tapes, as well as in Sokółka borders. The resulting strip is over 2.5 m long and 3 cm wide.
Finally, a bonus – my beloved looms survived another kangaroo journey. I also have a photo taken after adding other things, showing our nomadic capabilities, but the looms are no longer visible 😉
Beautiful <3
looks great
