Pasamo... with passion
I hereby announce the opening of the workshop. I am fulfilling outstanding orders and preparing fresh assortment 🙂
After a long break, I'm back to weaving on the bardek. To warm up, I made a short selvedge – it's only 5.5 m long 😉 Even though I'm not used to it, it's quite dense.
Length: 5.5 m
Width: 2.5 cm
Price: PLN 20 per meter
Material: 75% acrylic, 25% wool
5.5 m of selvedge
1:07 driving time
12 km distance
The blog title has selvedges, but in the content of the posts there seems to be not enough of them. I decided to fix that. I would like to show each new selvedge. Here is a selvedge with a standard length… for me, which is 10 meters. It is 1.8 cm wide. It would be best for hemming a garment. The pattern on it is quite simple, but if you consider the tool…
In Ląd, it finally dawned on me that it would be necessary to take care of Seweryn's historical clothes. It is obvious that a shoemaker walks without shoes, but this cannot be transferred to his loved ones. A shirt that I sewed last year required particularly quick intervention - a new shirt, but without trims, with scabbed (oh, the spell checker knows this word) edges...
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...
The selvedge I’m presenting today is quite unique. I started it at the beginning of summer and I wasn’t in any hurry to finish it – I was testing a small inkle loom, which is very handy and a selvedge that has been started doesn’t bother anyone. I was also testing new yarns – new to me, because unfortunately the manufacturer has stopped production. The most important thing is that I finished it in…
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 😉
You could say I've taken quite a long break from blogging. But time and space are getting distorted again. So much has happened to me recently that I feel like my last post was half a year ago, and it's only been a month. Seweryn didn't discover the surprise too early - only in Łekno while putting on his shirt. But unfortunately we didn't see his face, because...

where has she been?
Do you have any ideas on how to make your back not hurt so much from weaving?
Ah, life changes – moving and acclimatizing to a new place.
Unfortunately, the only idea I can think of is to ignore the pain. Strong passion allows for that. But it's true that a better solution would be useful. You have to take care of your muscles so that they are strong, but relaxed at the same time.
I don't like exercising, but maybe I should try to introduce some choreography into the weaving process 😉
I guess so 🙂 I don't like exercises either..
the pain can be ignored up to a certain point 🙂 then inflammation sets in and things are not rosy 😀
