If you have a choice for sley order at the selvedge, which would you choose for a 20/2 warp, set at 36 epi in a 12 dent reed/3 per dent? - 4 per dent in a single dent (to beef up the edge) - 2 per den

2 + 2 = Great, because that is what I did! Just second guessing myself. Thanks!

I wove this pattern in the Honeycomb treadling in 16/2 (soft green Ecocot from Silk City) for pattern, and 20/2 or 16/2 white unmercerized cotton for warp. I wove this small bit of sample yardage on a

I am weaving Beiderwand in 20/2 cotton, set at 36 epi, sleyed 3 per dent in a 12 dent reed. I am noticing that every once in awhile a warp thread will hang up, causing a float for a few picks in the t

Thanks for the ideas! After a lot of weaving this weekend, I am 44" into the 8 yard warp. (This is not turned - but thanks for the offer, Karen!) The threading is like Doreen's, but with more pattern

Sara, You are the second person to bring up the doubleweave connection. I was not even aware of that! I checked the Strickler 8-shaft pattern book and was surprised to see she references doubleweave i

Several folks have pointed me in the direction of the booklet, Beiderwand? by Clarita Anderson, Judith Gordon, and Naomi Whiting Towner. A tremendous thank you to many for bringing this resource to my

Please be aware that Janet Meany, who was the host of the Weavers Friend website, sadly passed away last year. As a result, I am not sure if the "contact me" feature on the website is still active. Ho

I first became aware of her at Convergence 1998 Atlanta. She submitted a bias cut dress that was getting top votes for the "viewer's choice" award along with a wedding dress submission, and the black

As an alternative, I wove a series of (heavy-ish) baby blankets from Brassard's 8/4 unmercerized cotton last year. It comes in lots of colors, and wove up easily at 12 epi. It won't be as soft as chen

I just noticed Peter Patchis Yarns is selling softball cotton yarn, natural (color) for $6 per pound. (450 yards per pound). I have used this yarn successfully to weave a soft, more bulky baby blanket

Joe – this is very exciting! DO take advantage of any free training or gear offered, as many of my guildmates participate in Zoom calls from their cell phones or tablets. However, a tablet or computer

I learned over the weekend that Nell Znamierowski passed away last week. I don't know any further details and I have not seen an obituary posted yet. For those who are not familiar with Nell, here is

Nell attended the Weaving History Conference in 2016, and in 2017, The Thousand Islands Arts Center - Home of the Handweaving Museum, exhibited these pieces along with her books.

Joe, I've been weaving for a while now (nearly 30 years) and just realized I don't hear the term "honeysuckle" hardly at all anymore. Has it been replaced by a different term? There is an article in T

Yay, Joe! It is easy, and actually, I like it better than a phone call, because I think it's easier to hear/understand folks when you can see their expressions at the same time. (I have an old landlin

Thanks for reporting back, Louise. If you have a chance to take a photo and post a photo, that would be interesting. Sally

Sarah, As far as I am aware, there has been no "change in direction" at the TIAC. I have been visiting the museum, accessing the collection in the library, and attending or presenting at the Weaving H
