Pasamo... with passion
Someone took a picture of me during the festival in Ląd. I like it very much, especially since it's not often that you see a shot without contemporary accents. Our father, the director, chose a good place for the camp.
The photo comes from the website The Piast Trail.
First, I want to reassure some people: it's not that much. But maybe we should exaggerate? There's always a way to make a nice amount of selvedges from a small amount. This time I came up with this idea: By the way, a little selvedge spoiler 😉 Sometimes I realize that I'm weaving just so I can stare at the effects...
Haberdashery, or selvage, is my greatest passion. I realized how many pleasant experiences it gives me, and each one is irreplaceable. I will write down some of them here quickly and not very coherently 😀 When choosing yarn, feasting the eyes with colorful balls, working the imagination and curiosity about what will come out. When weaving, the joy that there is not a single knot in the yarn and a heartfelt…

The edge selvedge worked well in the case of the apron, but it will not be needed in all cases. In addition, the warping and weaving of the edge selvedge with the addition of the actual fabric to the warp weft…
Last year was a successful one – at least in terms of weaving. I may gradually be able to report here. I have made some progress in the area of weaving on vertical looms. Previous attempts were different – usually time-consuming and not very engaging. I already have two weft samples from a tapestry with a linen warp and two mixed cloths, so it came…
The selvedges have their place in the house – just an ordinary shelf in a wall unit. I stare at them sometimes. Now I have so many of these selvedges. Not enough, because you can still see the back panel, and I would like to fill the shelf completely. 146.4 m of selvedge 14:50 driving time 217 km distance
