I've recently become obsessed not only with shadow weave but also with the woman behind the Powell system. Do you happen to know anything about the life of Marian Powell? Where did she live? Did she leave any textiles behind?
Do you have any tips regarding keeping threads in order when sleying 2 or more threads per dent? I tend to get many crossed threads!
Warping a loom with multiple ends per dent can be a challenge, especially if you warp front to back. Here's Madelyn with help on transferring the cross.
Are there any instructions or tutorials on stitching two panels together?
Thanks, Madelyn, for answering my question What is a turned draft? But now I'm confused about the weave structure called turned twill. It has nothing to do with turning a draft, right?
Madelyn van der Hoogt helps the weaving novice with measuring fabric on a loom.
There are several different ways to treat the hems of a fabric with a supplementary pattern weft. Madelyn explains a few!
Another terminology question. What is a turned draft? I think I have a handle on this one, but some illustrations would not go amiss.
I am interested in making the Travel Shawl on page 32 of the May/June 2018 issue of Handwoven. Is there a way to convert the rigid-heddle draft for use on a 4- shaft table or floor loom?
I want to use some old project instructions that call for 10/2 unmercerized cotton for dishtowels. I can't seem to find any of that yarn in colors!
