Interdependent
‘linen tester’ showing .25, .50 and 1 inch dimensions (got it from Jane Stafford) New weavers don’t get the connection between the various factors in the development of a cloth. That is not a ‘failing’, just a lack of knowledge. It is only after they weave enough cloth, pay attention to the results, that…

Irrepressible
showing both sides of the cloth – one side more orange, the other, not so much close up Finally got started weaving the warp on the AVL yesterday. The colours aren’t to my taste particularly, but I think for those people who do like soft earthy palettes, these are looking pretty good. One thing about…

In Pursuit of Perfection
two different waffle towels As I was nearing the end of this blue warp I started having misgivings. I’d changed the epi from 36 to 30 because the weft I was wanting to use was somewhat thicker than what I’d used on the last 2/20 merc. warps and thought that a more open warp might work better. …

Waffle Towels
I had intended to use 2/16 cotton for weft on the waffle towels, but in my digging in the store room uncovered some of the singles 6 cotton I have. The yarn was sent as an error as part of a large order of 2/8 cotton directly from one of the few spinning mills left…

Seein’ Red
Someone asked on Weavolution (I think it was) if people had a favourite weave structure or pattern that they keep coming back to. The above is one of mine. It’s done on a 16 shaft point twill progression and is easy-peasy to weave with a dobby. It doesn’t look it’s best as it is on…

Waffling Around
A couple of years ago I messed around with waffle weave for towels. (before and after samples above) Well, I wanted to revisit the towels I designed after doing the above sampling, but it appears that when I upgraded my computer, I ‘lost’ a bunch of my files. I think I remember shrugging resignedly at…

Waffles
A couple of days ago I mentioned in a comment (I think) that I had woven a waffle weave towel with purposefully ruffled hems. The puckering doesn’t show up very well in this photo – if you look closely at the bands in between the waffle areas, you might just be able to see ‘lines’.…
