towel weaving

Weaver's log, Earthdate 16092019
Monday again and back to school and back to the 14 test tredel combinations. Progress in it is steady and have a good pace. I am doing each treadle order in four different colours each, to see how different colours play with the warp in the different tredel combinations. I have hade to have slight differences in the colours too, as some ran out.

I finished the 14 tredel tests, the last two I also changed the treadle binding on the last two as they are unequal-sided. Think am going to do the last one I did as the warp dominate this look.

A thought hit me last night, I hade forgotten the unequal-sided part of the pattern I was going to do for the real towels.

So today I spent the whole day thinking about what to do. In the end, I went for the pattern I was looking at firs but with bigger lines of the inlay in an attempt to make the inlay stripes to look less busy as they do in the test. I also did the thing with the cards we did for the warp earlier to see what order Id like them in.

haven't even done two full days and the ''happy hole'' (don't know if its a thing in English so I directly translate from Swedish. I must have talked about it earlier in the blog) so weaving has gone smooth. At the end of the day, I am done with two towels and a bit more, the last bit though I had to do in red and green as I was out of brown and the blue, and in my opinion, don't look too good without the brown.

I also started work on my next weave for a Viking garment. The last picture is through my magnifying glass of a fabric one in the sewing a Viking dress in. So I wanted to see how that looked.

this weekend I secured the raw edges on the tent at the opening flap with langet stitches. It took more time then I thought it would but then you think about it it is 5 meters of sewing to get through.
