Pasamo... with passion
I tried not to try – it turned out as usual…
It was supposed to be a loose selvedge, made quickly and with the least resistance. Hmm. Now I'm worried that my perverse plan to weave a "flak" for people who value price, not quality, won't come to fruition. When I started weaving, my selvedges weren't that strong, why!? ;P
The selvedge is quite narrow – 2.4 cm. It would be good for hemming a garment, or wrapping legs… or whatever you imagine. It is 8.5 m long.
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…
From making a selvedge to publishing its image sometimes leads a long way. Through the forests of photographs… I was so happy that my camera took pictures almost by itself. Lately I only corrected the frame (and even that is not always) and the size. This time it was different. Red wool has always been difficult for me. I even suspected that maybe I was seeing this one wrong…
This is the second series of brown stripes. The number of threads and the arrangement are the same as before. The patterns are different, because I try never to repeat myself. It's a waste of time, and there are so many ideas. Weaving from coarse yarn is laborious and a bit off-putting. The effect is quite interesting, so that's the only reason I didn't throw the wool in the farthest corner, so...
Just last year I wove two woolen selvedges for friends so they could sew historical clothes. The first one has nicely matched colors, because I didn’t choose them 😉 The gray with red looks great. The pattern is my own idea – a simple pattern, but I think it’s quite charming. The width of the selvedge is 1.7 cm, length 7.7 m….
… but without the cat, because Janek didn’t push himself to do any work or take pictures this time. He sniffed the new toolbox, 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'm almost afraid to use this word, because uncle Google will start referring Pokemon hunters or collectors to my blog. Fortunately, I don't have a phobia about it - I remember that there was some cartoon with funny creatures, but the wave didn't take me. Actually, neither of the two waves: delight and mocking criticism. I won't describe the genesis of the selvedge,…
