![]() ![]() I don't usually see all the black swans in one place, but here they are. Now I'm going to try it in 30/2 linen, in other colors. Warp dark blue and pink, weft turquoise and gold. The sample is 10/2 cotton 32 epi and ppi. Actually either side could be called the face, but once you decide, that determines which way you sew the hem. Here's what I'm calling the right side, or face. The piece is now off the loom, hemmed, washed, dried, and ironed. The most recent doubleweave sample is interesting to watch on the loom, when you can see both sides, as in this view. If you turn around and look at this from a different angle, the color relationships change.Īnd if I get tired of monotone, I can always go to the bakery and get more inspiration. Amazing to see all the shades of green that emerge. I've selected forest green and yellow linen wefts for the first runner. The wefts in these swatches are all linen of different types and colors. Here's the first sample off the loom and just washed, waiting to dry. Here's the loom all tidy and ready to go. It's like a magic trick when you pull the knots through and wind the whole thing on. ![]() I love the scary-looking birds' nests that arise during the tying-on. So I tied on a new warp to the interleaved threading on the 16-shaft loom, and it is half green, half eggplant, and all linen. Oddly for this time of year, I've been noticing more green. The last few days I've spent a lot of time following the black swans around, and the patterns made by their long curved necks are compelling.Īnd then there are the colors. These new furrows are starkly outlined in the early morning light. My daily visits to the farm are a rich source of patterns. It's never just one thing that influences a design choice. The only downside is that it consumes four of your shafts. Beautiful, dependable, and an elegant method of doing away with the unlovable floating selvedge. Pat is also the one who pointed me in the direction of the double weave selvedge. I wanted a "nasty yellow" and this is certainly it. Meanwhile, many thanks to Pat for providing me with the perfect yellow. #WEAVEIT FREE DOWNLOAD HOW TO#Is this an error? Do we have to figure out how to deal with it, or just embrace it as a fact of life? The jury is still out. It will be interesting to see what happens with this after cutting off and washing. Here are the six possible combinations with six shafts for each block, and the remaining 4 shafts just perfect for a double weave selvedge.Īs always, the colors change character depending on the viewing angle and the lighting conditions.Īn oddity about having two colors sharing the same space in the reed is that occasionally they change places, as you can plainly see in the following picture. I did a little experimenting with 3-color jin, with 3 colors rotating in the warp, so that in a single block you can have one color on top or 2 colors on top, and of course the reverse on the other side. ![]() More fun and games with jin, aka warp-faced compound tabby, this time on 16 shafts.
