- WEAVING - Remake of “Colour and Weave”
One project ago, a trio of tea towels were wonkily woven on a new-to-me Leclerc two-shaft loom. I wanted to quit, but then went ahead and purchased a 45” Leclerc Mira. I “enrolled” (hey, it sounds fancy!) to Jane Stafford’s School of Weaving and gave those tea towels another go.
Dressing the loom properly and better tension overall made a world of difference! I was more careful with the selvages and learned how to hemstitch to better finish the ends.
This most recent set still has to be washed (and will inevitably go through shrinkage) and I no longer had enough 8/4 cotton in natural so 2 strands of 8/2 was used so the comparison may not be absolutely true, but I’m very pleased with the improvement!
