FlaxandFleece weaving blog: October 2013
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 13 October 2013. Tying on linen and wool warp, and sampling! I tied the linen and wool warp onto the wool one, weaving a strip of plain weave first to keep all the ends in order and make them easier to find. It worked very well, I had no crossed ends doing it this way, and it was quite quick to do. This is a huck tie up but I'll only be using plain weave in a very open sett for this. This is the second scarf on the striped warp, I used the same lycra yarn in the weft at intervals of about an inch...

FlaxandFleece weaving blog: huck scarves
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2013/09/huck-scarves.html
Monday, 23 September 2013. I once did a completely different style of huck scarf and someone told me it was not true huck - this is probably even less true huck, but I was aiming at honeycomb anyway. I'm not a purist! This is a close-up - the 'cells' are outlined with a heavy black yarn which adds a bit of texture. 25 September 2013 at 07:59. Are you sure its tracking? It looks to me more like creasing during the wet finishing. Try wetting it again and see if it comes out. Tracking happens more i...I sti...

FlaxandFleece weaving blog: November 2011
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 24 November 2011. These are all using a basic tie-up, to see what variety you can do without having to crawl under the loom. I've avoided all the very strong zigzag motifs. I like the diagonal stripe in the orange, which comes out as a very plain weave on the back. Next time I'll definitely move on to something new. Saturday, 19 November 2011. Pebble twill and others. And this is the original dog tooth check I started with. After I'd pressed it I gave it a bit of a brush with a clothes brus...

Warped Minds-Ramblings of a Weaver: Return to Double Cloth Windows....
http://janeflanagantextiles.blogspot.com/2015/06/return-to-double-cloth-windows.html
Warped Minds-Ramblings of a Weaver. Hello and welcome to my blog! Please add your comments! Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Return to Double Cloth Windows. After a couple of years away, I am returning to my first love of double cloth, and weaving two block/two layer double weave windows in 2/2 twill. If you do the maths, you will see that this requires 16 shafts! Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O). 16 August 2015 at 22:10. Beautiful colors; they sing to me! 22 August 2015 at 11:23.

Ceri's Adventures in Stop-Motion: February 2009
http://woollymonster.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Ceri's Adventures in Stop-Motion. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. I have recently accumulated some interesting bits of 'treasure' (please note that my idea of treasure differs greatly from most people's). First up - things I have been given. Daz, my main contributor of unusual junk has excelled himself recently. My favourite objects are the transparent electronic switch thingies (at least I think that's what they are - they came from an old 'plant room control board' apparently. I have also had a number of...

Warped Minds-Ramblings of a Weaver: Why don't we have a UK-based weaving magazine????
http://janeflanagantextiles.blogspot.com/2015/03/why-dont-we-have-uk-based-weaving.html
Warped Minds-Ramblings of a Weaver. Hello and welcome to my blog! Please add your comments! Friday, 6 March 2015. Why don't we have a UK-based weaving magazine? Well, now I have decided to investigate the feasibility and possibility of publishing a magazine aimed predominantly at UK weavers and English-speaking weavers around Europe. There really is not anything available which contains weaving projects using yarns, materials and equipment widely available in the UK. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

FlaxandFleece weaving blog: Second scarf
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2013/10/second-scarf.html
Sunday, 13 October 2013. This is the second scarf on the striped warp, I used the same lycra yarn in the weft at intervals of about an inch, but used orange and purple stripes using the same yarns as in the warp. I have a feeling it hasn't pleated as densely as the first scarf, perhaps because the purple yarn is a bit thicker than the sage green I used in the other. This is a close up.
