One of my favorite parts of working on my Ancient Rose Scarf for the March/April 2019 issue of Handwoven was taking the time to research overshot and how it fits into the history of American weaving.
I want to weave an afghan that is 48" wide. I have warping sticks that are only 47" wide. Is there any way I can use these sticks or should I just go the "paper" route?
I've heard of something called a dummy warp, where some inexpensive yarn is tied to the apron rod and then the real warp is tied to that, so that the cheap yarn becomes the loom waste.
In her Texas Bluebonnets Towels Cheryl Leib beautifully captures the essence of the bluebonnet in warp and weft.
This simple, straightforward scarf uses 4 colors of 2/10 merino/Tencel. The warp has a main color and 2 accent colors, and the weft is another color altogether.
I love that Elisabeth Hill isn’t timid when she designs and weaves. She seems to have an uncanny sense of how color combinations and weave structures work together on the loom, and she jumps wholeheartedly into projects.
