Three Fundamental Weave Structures (And Why You Need To Know Them)

Image
Do you find yourself fondling fabrics? Touching textiles? Daydreaming of a home or wardrobe featuring your very own handwoven fabrics? How would you go about choosing fabric for your cushion, chair, or skirt, let alone design that fabric yourself? If  form follows function , then let’s start to read our fabrics and understand how different weave structures give us the characteristics we want. Warp and Weft, Under and Over We can define weave structures by the ways the threads pass over and under each other. The  warp  is what is on the loom under tension and runs vertically in the cloth. It is lowered and/or raised to form sheds. The  weft  is what we throw through the open shed and beat in pick-by-pick. The weft runs horizontally in the cloth. The warp runs vertically in the cloth; the weft runs horizontally. Each time the weft and the warp travel from back-to-front or front-to-back of the cloth, they interlace and form a binding point. These interlacemen...

How To Knit a Tubular Cast On

The tubular cast on is an invisible cast on that’s great for hems cuffs and ribbing edges, where you want to have a bit of elasticity.

With your waste yarn, work 4-5 rows in stockinette stitch, ending at the end of a right-side row (you'll be ready to work a wrong-side row in the next part). Cut your waste yarn.

Plying Tips for Handspun Yarn Success

Image
WHAT is Plying? Plying is when bobbins containing handspun singles are removed from the wheel, placed on a lazy kate, and then subjected to more twist.  To achieve a balanced yarn, more twist is added in the opposite direction of the first twist. This is not always the case, however. Some designer yarns add the second twist in the same direction as the first twist. This article is a review of some of the key aspects of plying handspun for balanced yarns using a spinning wheel. Transforming handspun singles into multi-ply yarn offers numerous benefits. WHY Ply? Many factors come into play when choosing whether or not to ply my singles. To give you some food for thought, here are just a few considerations I use in my own practice: Give a Yarn Strength The more plies, the stronger the yarn. Unless I want a dense fabric, I usually weave with singles or 2-ply yarns. Multi-ply yarns are good for strong rug warps or fabrics requiring densely packed weft yarns. One way I...
