Pasamo... with passion
Today I'm showing you woven strips made from coarse wool tapestry yarn.
I made 2 belts with solar symbols to order.
The remaining warp was used to create a strip with a simple weave, 1.9 m long and 3.5 cm wide.
60.9 m of selvedge

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…
When you have leftover materials at your disposal, you can create such "miracles": The selvedge is made of cotton cord. It is 3 cm wide and 2.3 m long. I finished it with fringes on both sides. It is pleasant to the touch and quite stiff. I will boldly put it this way: it is showy 😉
Again, I'm quite behind on writing. That's because, for an unemployed person, I've had a lot of work lately ;P I present the selvedges that I made especially for the Wielewit team. Patterns and colors reserved 😀 The selvedge on the left is 2.2 cm wide and 6.5 m long - it was originally 12.8 m, but it was cut off. At the back lies a selvedge that is 2.5 cm wide...
I present another selvedge. The original comes from Ostrówek in Opole and is dated to the 4th quarter of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century. I used factory yarn, 100% wool. The number of threads in the warp is identical to the original, but my yarn is thicker, so the selvedge is also wider - instead of 2.5 cm it is 3.2 cm. Plain-grosgrain weave. Length 7.7…
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 😉 (width 2.8 cm, length 7.25 m)
I am not happy with the photo, because the camera, as usual, had its own opinion about the colors. I struggled a bit, then I wondered if there was any point in publishing any of the photos at all, and now I decided to show this: I repeat, I am not a photographer 🙂 You could say that this series of selvedges was created because of an itchy visual organ. Nothing so…

I really like the second one. I like the black and red combination, and the pattern is great.
Great post. I'll definitely be here more often.
