Pattern: Plain Weave Yarns: Rico Essentials Cotton and Cotton Print DK Method: Weaving Completed: July 18, 2013. |
This is my second weaving project on a rigid heddle loom (Schacht Flip, 15″; used 10 dent reed). Selvedge is much better than first rigid heddle project — having learned to explicitly bring the heddle/reed back up to neutral before beating the warp (which happens naturally from the “up” position, but not so naturally from the “down” position).
I had a choice between black weft (used) or white. White would have been more subtle, but I figured it would also wipe out the colours. The black enhances their vibrancy.

On the loom — with alternative wefts (each of the warp colours) — note how the same-value warps annihilate the colour impression.On the loom — just the warp. |
