The color of the sea... I mean salmon
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 😉
More complicated
Following the advice, I will try the html mode. The image is still on the left, even though the style is "center" and I added align center. But I can add non-breaking spaces. And I really do have better control over all of this. If something falls apart, it's only my fault 😉 I recently had the opportunity to make a slightly more difficult selvedge. A bit…
Laces made of good yarn
I decided to finally remind you about myself and show that I still weave 😉 I present a selvedge made based on the find from Opole in my color version. The selvedge is 8.3 m long and 1.7 cm wide. The material was provided by Joanna Hajduk. The yarn is very thin, single-twisted, hand-spun and dyed with madder. The description of the find is in the book: Early medieval textiles from excavations in Opole…
Fantastic border
I worked on this border for quite a long time, but it's finally here. I finished it in Ląd. I'm only posting about it now, because I couldn't handle the photo. It's hopeless anyway... but let others take care of the photography 😀 The length is 8.7 m, and the width is 2.8 cm. The material is a nice yarn made from a mixture of real sheep wool and...

Opole Krajka
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…

Pastures grazing
Last year I decided to put a bit more threads on the very, design a more complicated pattern, weave a piece and leave such a half-finished selvedge to show the technique of weaving. My presentation lasted even 2 months, but I couldn't stop weaving and had to rework the entire warp. In September I made myself a second warp to show weaving techniques during…

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.
