Pasamo... with passion
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 pattern is my own idea – a simple pattern, but I think it’s quite charming. The width of the selvedge is 1.7 cm, length 7.7 m….
