What do you do when you realize you've sleyed your reed to the wrong sett? Do you sley again? Or is there a faster way? Here's Madelyn to explain!
I'm buying a new loom and choosing a reed with more dents. I'm trying to decide between a 10-dent and 12-dent. Which size should I get first?
What do you do when you're warping a loom front to back, with multiple ends per dent, and your warps won't stop twisting? Madelyn is here to answer!
Taqueté is a complementary-weft structure usually used for sturdy pieces, especially rugs.
I'm interested in a project with lots of weft color changes. I'm worried that my edges will build up more than the rest of my weaving if I overlap tails.
If the instructions say to "use tabby," is this weaving overshot that's reversible? Should I use warp or weft yarns for the tabby to make it stand out?
I was reading your article on Tied Overshot from Handwoven, and it doesn't look like the drawdown and treadling match in Figure 2, page 16.
The temple will keep the warp threads parallel to each other so that the reed doesn’t rub on them.
I have read in various places that you recommend using a temple (stretcher) as a means of getting good selvedges.
