"Why Weave"

How do you answer the question "Why do you weave?"

Ask Madelyn: Shuttle Orientation

Could rotating the shuttle fix your weft angle?

It's handwoven, exceptional, and enduring!

Pattie stumbled upon some rather unusual uses for handwoven cloth. That made her start thinking about how we often "save" handwovens rather than using them.

Ask Madelyn: Tabby and Pattern

Many books and magazines use the term "Use Tabby" to keep the drafts manageable. What does that mean?

Ask Madelyn: Managing Weft Colors

I have a pattern that calls for 8 picks of light and then 8 picks of dark. How do I keep the selvedge edge from having a long loop of one of the colors?

Ask Madelyn: Weaving with Handspun

You don’t have to weave a separate sample. Just make the warp long enough so you can weave a bit, take that off, wash, and then change the sett on the warp you are using as needed by spreading the threads farther apart or closer together in the reed.
