Well, I would say that tying onto the old warp was a success.
I really love how all the knots look here, almost like a sound wave…
(Note to self…practice tying knots in a more consistent way so they all line up like well behaved children)
The black warp was amazing, it is pretty rare that I use a solid colour warp, and I have to admit that I really enjoyed the simplicity of it. The combination of solid warp and weft, with a lovely undulating twill weave was a fun weave.
This is one of my favourite things to weave. It is simple, and elegant, but I can change it up in several ways to get different effects.
On this piece, I reversed the treadling in the middle of the length, for a subtle way to easily find the centre of the piece.
This weave really is a star, playing nicely with many different wefts, and the drape of it…oh my….
I might decide to tie another warp on sometime, but right now, I am switching projects, and I have a natural warp on the loom for towels. Lots and lots of towels.
(I’ll show them to you in a week or so when the weaving is done)
