For doublecloth, is it better to weave front-to-back or back-to-front?
I like to tie the warp onto the apron rod in small groups (a half inch of warp width or less), and then just start weaving, using the yarn that will be used in the project. The first half inch of weaving will do the job of aligning the warp threads,
Madelyn gives advice on how to figure out sett when your warp and weft are two different sizes.
I just wound a linen warp of 35/2 linen and the threads were quite twisted as I sleyed, threaded, and beamed the warp. What was I doing wrong?
Madelyn delves in to two more forms of doubleweave in this second part of a three part series, Beiderwand and Lampas.
Is there a preferred way to warp thin threads such as 60/2 silk?
Setting fine threads can introduce some interesting denting in the reed.
What is the best way to start/end a weft? At the beginning of a project, the end of a project, and when you run out of weft and start a new one?
