I like how the ombre/blending effect turned out!! Doing the same color pattern with the warp and weft makes me think of doing treadling "as drawn in". Do you wash chenille in the washing machine, or by hand?

I made an arch out of PVC pipe and made bases from the same. My cell phone/camera is held onto the arch with a cell phone holder meant for bicycle handlebars. Works a treat. I can move the arch to wherever I want to get the shot I need.

If it’s the same stuff I got it probably has a rayon core. It makes beautiful rugs, I used polycotton rug warp in a large diamond twill format i think 5.5 epi Is what I did for the warp, it looks amazing when it’s finished, i have to use a tapestry beater to get it tight because I use a table loom and my beater is pretty lightweight for making rugs

Beautiful scarf! Every time I see you weave it makes me want to get my loom working. I need to take a class on how to set it up and use it. It’s a table top loom but it’s an older one and I don’t know the brand or style of it. I bought it from a patient that used to work in a university teaching all kinds of crafts. I would always try to see her last during the day so I could spend more time with her. She would always be doing something different. Painting(everything in her little house was painted with murals including the refrigerator and floors). Knitting, spinning (she would stop at the side of the road to pick up cotton that was left after the harvest). She was amazing! ❤❤❤some of these arts will be lost without people like you passing on their knowledge. Thank you!

How do you ensure that you get the same number of picks per inch as warp threads per inch, so you get squares instead of rectangles? I haven’t mastered this skill.
@curmudgeon665 күн бұрын
@JSCRocketScientist sometimes it doesn't work for me either. I'd say do some experimenting with smaller pieces using different ends per inch in warp, until you figure out what works best.

So the obvious reply is: What part of the world are you in? Is there a store or weaving center close to you? If not, have you ever considered the Jane Stafford School of Weaving on line? look at this: www.schoolofweaving.tv/ I've been weaving almost 30 years, and she has only been on line teaching for 8 yrs, but I have learned a great deal from her, and if you start with season one of eight, which is included in a one year membership, she starts for brand new weavers.

What a fun beginning to the video…found myself looking around, thinking the building was pretty neat, and spotted you weaving in the middle distance as the videographer walked forward. Couldn’t help exclaiming “There he is!” As if I was at the fair, too. That’s pretty cool. 0-degree temperatures have me holed up indoors so it’s nice to travel vicariously. Awfully nice shawl, by the wat.

I'll be using that myself. Thanks for the video.
