welfordWEAVES // ep. 2: more twill gamp weaving - checking sett

[@marilyn1228]

I remember reading once that gun oil is very good for lubricating, and therefore, quieting the sound of weaving squeaks.

Great to know Marilyn! Thank you!

your beat is so gentle I usually do a quick short sharp beat, the only time I beat gentle is when I am doing lace

[@RachelSmith]

Ahh okay -- it's funny because on the Jack it doesn't feel like I can do light beats so it's interesting that it looks like that in the video! I found that if I beat too hard with this, the weft packed too much. I tried so many different sets but this worked to create a lovely fabric. I used a very light beat for my wool Unit 1 for my OHS.
