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.
Many rigid heddle projects are striking because rigid-heddle weavers have no fear of using novelty yarn.
Once you understand the basics, focus on the soul of what you are doing. Your riding, your yardage, and yes, even your life will turn out better
Not everything in your weaving studio needs to come from a weaving or yarn store. Here is a list of items in my studio from the hardware store:
Before making any decisions about heddles, it is important to figure out how many you will use on each shaft (by checking the draft).
