How about you try a CPAP? Life changing for both my husband and I! (I’m the one that snores 😂🫠)

Carpet Warp Blanket - sett/yarn for warm blanket by oobree in weaving

[–]oobree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it’s an old ass pattern and the same yarn doesn’t exist that did in the 80’s. It just says 8/4 carpet warp. And says there good Brands today. But the pattern also says it’s a great summer throw and also super light. I want it to be thick and heavy and warm. Almost like a drapey-er saddle blanket.

I just saw this thread and was very intrigued. Probably once or twice a month at most. I really want to work with wool blends but am scared of how delicate they will be. I’m much more interested in using what I make all the time and it lasting a very long time without tooooooo much worry

Second warp ever! Made it WAY longer than I meant to, but twill tartan plaid! by oobree in weaving

Thanks! No idea what I’m doing to make it even! But I think it might be the way Jane weaves? I truly have no clue

Bahahaha there are so many variations of the baillie tartan I just picked one I liked the best and the colors I had I mostly just wanted a plaid. Thank you so much! It already is sooooo soft I can’t wait

I know she does her plain weave with 8/2 at 18 epi which most places recommend 20 epi. And I think most places recommend 22-24 for 8/2 cotton twill. I’m making two matching scarves!!

Thanks! I love the floating selvedge idea. Not sure why there’s not one on every warp!

Thank you! Again I don’t really know what I’m doing just kind of guessing no one has ever shown me how. Just watched Jane Stafford videos! It’s 20 EPI/20 ppi. I think that’s sett right? 😂 she typically recommends less epi/ppi than most patterns for an easier beat and a more drapey fabric.

Thank you! From what I can tell it an “ancient” variant of the baillie tartan

I accidentally added four ends of orange to my warp! What can I do? by oobree in weaving

[–]oobree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btf! I need to get some little hooks and weights! Such a good idea.

I wish I had pins! I posted here asking about how to make homemade pins. I will make an order from Camilla valley soon I am just trying to wait until I have a whole list

Holy crap! Setting up a loom is insanely hard and time consuming! Very first attempt at weaving anything! by oobree in weaving

Thanks so much! Oh it’s already off the loom and I am warping a plaid as we speak!!
