\"floating<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t want to say this too loudly and jinx it, but you see that floating selvedge on the right side of my warp? It’s the same thread I started with more than 220″ ago. For lots of people that’d be no big deal. But for me, as I reported recently<\/a>, it’s huge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It would appear that I figured out what I was doing wrong that broke that thread every 20″. I think I did that when I was weaving HR’s X-patterned baby wrap, since that needed two floating selvedges, too. YAY!!<\/p>\n

As planned, I did get N’s wrap started yesterday, although only about 25″ worth. Here’s the end of AT’s & the beginning of N’s.<\/p>\n

\"changing<\/a><\/p>\n

N’s wrap has a marine weft. You can also see that I’ve started the weaving pattern in the opposite direction. I’d forgotten when I started A’s that this particular pattern is marginally easier to treadle ‘backwards,’ from treadle 9 to 1 then 3,2 as opposed to 1 to 9 then 2,3. Even marginal improvements help; if I save a few seconds every time I have to get those 3,2 or 2,3 treadles, overall it makes things move more quickly. After all, I have to make that foot-dance change (from treadle 9 to 2 or treadle 1 to 3) probably 500+ times in the wrap. <\/p>\n

In reality, the efficiency may make at least as much of a difference in my mind as it does on the clock. I find that just as important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
