I’m a talker. I like to share what I know and ask questions about what I don’t know. I love to share things that I have made and also to share things that I find inspiring.
So with that in mind- what do you want to hear?! We are looking forward to creating some cool little videos on things that we are excited about. Are you curious about a certain historical textile? Do you want to know how to do a certain technique? Are there certain yarns that you were afraid to try? Or do you just want to learn cool stuff?!
Let me know! It will be a little bit before we have a few videos that we are able to share- but we hope that you will stay tuned and watch for some new awesome things.
In reply to “what do you want to hear”
I want to understand how to have a plain weave border on all 4 sides of a project. I can’t see, studying a draft for a pattern such as summer winter or overshot, how it is possible to have a tabby that actually weaves plain without skipping threads because of the threading pattern.
Thank you for helping the world of wanna be weavers! Cindy
You are so welcome! I have to do a little bit of research on this for you since I normally put all of my patterns right to the edge of my work. As soon as I get a clear answer for you, I will make a video to step by step explain the process and how it works (and how it avoids those skipped threads.)
Cheers to you! -Tegan
Tegan,
I would like to see how you would take a photograph, something from nature like a tropical fish or a nature woodland scene, and then choose yarns and a structure resulting in a stunning scarf. I have trouble seeing how to use pretty yarns to develop a project. Thanks.
I would like to see you setting up and usinb the fly shuttle. I wonder if I can use one with my 64″ Macomber. I want to weave tablecloths, blankets and bedspreads. Also, I have been wondering about using tne AVL warping wheel for my sectional beam. Have you tried it? I currently measure 2″ sections on a board and wind on the beam thru a comb to keep threads in line.
