Spool and cone holders are must-have weaving supplies, but you can DIY! Madelyn shares how to make a cone and spool holder from a plastic file crate.
Selvedges are always a concern to weavers, even though most non-weavers would never notice what we consider to be terrible flaws.
I have an odd number of threads, so my last dent will have only one thread. Won’t this put extra stress on that thread? Should I sley floating selvedges?
My floating selvedge threads, one on each side, are getting progressively tighter. What could the cause be, and how could I avoid it?
I've gotten lots of different answers when I've asked about floating selvedges. Do you wind them on the back beam with the warp, or hang them over the back?
How do I get my floating selvedges to rise up higher? I have them weighted with S-hooks off the back of my loom, but they only rise about a half-inch.
I’ve been struggling to keep warp tension even for the entire length of the warp.
Before making any decisions about heddles, it is important to figure out how many you will use on each shaft (by checking the draft).
I am new to eight shafts and am wondering how to do tabby (plain weave) on an 8-shaft loom?
Recently, as I have been working with finer threads, I am finding my weft gets distorted, becoming like waves as I advance the warp and the fabric rolls over the breast beam. What can I do to prevent this?
