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 😉

Another selvedge has been photographed 🙂 This is probably the longest of my selvedges – it is 10.65 m long. The width is 2.7 cm. The pattern is a combination of a zigzag and a herringbone. In the background and on the edges you can see dots, which came out by using a lighter thread.
Black and cherry patterned selvedges
Today I present woven stripes from coarse woolen tapestry yarn. I made 2 stripes with solar signs to order. From the remaining warp, a strip with a simple braid was created, 1.9 m long and 3.5 cm wide. 60.9 m of selvedge2:19 driving time28 km distance
Warm Browns, continued
I tried not to try – it came out as usual… It was supposed to be a loose selvedge, made quickly and along the path of least resistance. Hm. Now I have concerns that my perverse plan to weave a “flak” for people who value price, not quality, will not come to fruition. When I started weaving, my selvedges were not that strong, why!? ;P The selvedge is…

I recently made a colorful selvedge. It is 4.5 cm wide. It was supposed to be 9 m long, which is half a meter more than I had managed to make using elements of housing infrastructure. It turned out that all I had to do was make a certain modification to the way the warp was wound. The selvedge came out with a margin, because it is almost 10 m long. I estimate that…
Eastern style selvedges
Today I won’t hide my pride in the woven selvedges 🙂 The impulse to get down to work came from Jadobra, who wanted a belt with S-straps. She sent me a few photos with the selvedges selected and said: copy them. Unfortunately, I don’t know the author of the originals – as soon as I find out who they are, I’ll definitely add them. Edit: I received information that…
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…

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 😀
