I’ve been working more with my Rigid Heddle looms these days. I’ve managed to work out how to weave twills using two heddles. It’s pretty simple and very medieval. Rigid Heddles are amoun the earliest weaving implements found by archeologists. The technique goes back to the Ancient era. Twills are also found in very early time [...] I have done the first round of blue stripes on my colour gamp. As with all new waving endeavors there were a few hiccups in the beginning stages. It’s for this reason that I am eternally grateful to the wonderful folks who created and contribute to Ravelry and Weavolution. It was the great minds and [...] Progress on the Colour Gamp, I’ve got the warp onto the front warp beam and all in the right order now! I still can’t believe it took me so long to notice the red was out of place. Oh well. Nearly there now! In reality I’m over half way through the warping process. I’ll likely [...] Last night, after a few deep breaths I was able to get all the thread rolled onto the front beam. So now all the threads are in the right order and the proper width for my colour gamp shawl! I began tieing the threads onto the back beam this am, but still have a few [...] This project was a learning experience from two perspectives, I will learn a lot about colour interaction from the finished gamp. I also learned a lot about weaving with 2 heddle and particularly weaving a 2/1 twill on 2 heddles. This project started as a huck lace sett at 12 epi. However I decided that I [...] I’m posting this every where I can in the hopes that someone more experienced than me will answer my questions. I’ve scoured my weaving books and the internet for how to create a 2/1 twill on 2 heddles. This is a simple 3 harness pattern, but every time I think I’ve got it down, I [...] For those who follow my blog I’ve written several times before about how long weaving takes me. I don’t write about this because I dislike weaving or the amount of time it takes. I write about this to help myself better understand my weaving and to help others understand the amount of time that goes into these art works! This evening, [...] Some friends came over to work in the wood workshop and in the studio today. I kept her company while she cut out a dress and I got some more weaving done. As I said earlier, I’ll be using the same repeat as is in the warp. Today I finished the first purple weft stripe. [...] |
