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.
Add rigid-heddle looms to the equation and choosing a loom becomes even more complex.
I’ve been struggling to keep warp tension even for the entire length of the warp.
Working on the November/December 2017 issue of Handwoven was a joy and an education.
I wanted a project that wasn’t even remotely wintery—something that evokes summertime. The obvious choice was Sarah H. Jackson’s beautiful Shades of India Towels.
Many rigid heddle projects are striking because rigid-heddle weavers have no fear of using novelty yarn.
