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’ve noticed that weavers also have a unique way of greeting each other. It usually starts with the “weaver’s handshake."
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.
Yarn counts cause great confusion even when they are used consistently—and in the case of weaving, they are not.
The overall goal in sleying a reed with more than one end in a dent to achieve a particular sett is to make the sleying order as even overall as possible.
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?
