How do you rethread a warp that is already on your loom? Part of the answer is preserving the cross.
I am wondering if it wouldn't be possible to have the Master Yarn Chart (which already reports meters per kilogram) with the sett ranges given in metric numbers (ends per centimeter)?
Someone recently asked me why I became a weaver. One reward of becoming a weaver is the friendships you make with other weavers.
The attached draft is from a non-weaving friend. How do I change the draft to put the pattern stripes in the warp? I have an 8-shaft, 10-treadle loom.
In a Weaving Today Q & A, a weaver asked about using fishing line for neat selvedges. What thickness fishing line is best?
I’m trying to work on my selvedges. I’ve heard that you can get better, stronger selvedges by setting the warp threads denser at the selvedge edges.
I have a question about cotton shrinking. When I use handwoven kitchen towels, usually 8/2 cotton, they seem to keep shrinking every time they are washed.
Is there an easy way to convert metric reeds in order to follow project instructions that give the setts in the number of ends per inch?
When is it too late to start using a temple? Madelyn explains to a reader how to salvage her much-too-drawn-in selvedges!
In essence, you are asking whether weavers really need to use a temple.
