For the father of the director
I don't like this selvedge (for many reasons), so I'm making an alternative one now... But I don't know if the director will like the second one 😉

A few colorful strips
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…
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…
A portion of May Bardka borders
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...
Brown Series
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…
Tricolor
Today, I am happy and proud to present new technically and visually advanced selvedges 🙂 I have long wondered whether the warp-pulling method could be used to obtain more colorful selvedges. Up until now, I have been weaving two-color patterns. Of course, I am not mentioning the fact that the warp can be divided lengthwise into stripes of different colors. I made a few drawings then and came to the unfortunate conclusion that…
Express selvedges
As part of testing a new weaving technique on the inkle loom, a lot of meters of selvedge were created. The technique is fast, hence the name of the post. I wrote about it in the post Express weaving. All the selvedges are about 2 cm wide, and most of them are about 8 m long. Made from a mixture of wool from acrylic and traditional sheep. To tell the truth, it's a pity...

I invite you to my blog for a distinction 🙂
Thank you for the distinction, which can be found here: http://marrgott.blogspot.com
beautiful selvedge. I'm looking for patterns for selvedges, I'm just starting out and I have a question, how do you read patterns and create your own?
Lunaris, thank you for visiting and praising 🙂
I was a bit confused by the question of how to read patterns, because I don't know 🙂 It's like this for me, that while weaving a selvedge, I get ideas for 3 more. I can't keep up with implementing them, so I at least draw the designs on paper.
There are some finds that can be guessed… or rather reconstructed 😉 – as you gain technical skills, figuring out the pattern becomes easier.
After seeing your works, I am convinced that you will not lack creativity 😀
