Pasamo... with passion
I once came across this interesting video – a clever weaving technique on an inkle loom that gives dizzying speed in the creation of a selvedge. I decided to try it on my workshop. A small widdle was made from a wooden pancake spatula. In the improved version, the handle is wrapped in a strap, because the edges – although not sharp – dug into my hands. The shuttle initially…
As part of testing a new weaving technique on the inkle loom, a lot of meters of selvedge were created. The technique is fast, hence the name of the post. I wrote about it in the post Express weaving. All the selvedges are about 2 cm wide, and most of them are about 8 m long. Made from a mixture of wool from acrylic and traditional sheep. To tell the truth, it's a pity...
I have some wool yarn bought together with a huge supply of worsted. The yarn is twisted individually, quite loosely. I have already woven it on vertical looms and I know that it tears. It was time to test it in weaving selvedges. I started by tightening the yarn on the spinning wheel. The impression was pleasant – it was the first time I had such an even yarn. I don’t have…
I bought my dream Glimakra Standard in July from the well-known and popular Mr. Antik 🙂 An interesting and useful bonus is a lamp designed by the previous owner – I only had to replace the plug because it didn't fit the socket. The warp was installed at the workshop. On the one hand, it's good, but it's also a bit of a hassle. (“It's a gift… and a curse.”)…

Well, because it’s increasingly difficult to buy tasty and reliable bread. If the nearest shops only offer white dumplings, inflated and artificial, I prefer to bake them myself. And it turns out that I am in…
