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.
When is it too late to start using a temple? Madelyn explains to a reader how to salvage her much-too-drawn-in selvedges!
Weaving silk is absolutely a wonderful experience—perhaps the only thing better is wearing silk.

Lately I’ve been thinking about perspective and how it impacts my weaving and my life.
In essence, you are asking whether weavers really need to use a temple.
