About this deal

It just makes beginner weaving life so much easier. A yarn with some elasticity (a woollen knitting yarn is perfect) will stretch just enough and is so forgiving that you should not have real issues with tension. Rigid yarns eg. cotton is much harder to tension on a rigid heddle loom. Wool, on the other hand, works with you, rather than you feeling like you’re working with (or for) it. Independent artists discovered and explored tapestry and fibre arts in general as a new medium. Which means that t he person who creates the design becomes also the weaver of the finished textile.

Like my weavers say, agriculture and textiles were the two pillars of society. If it had been that difficult, it wouldn’t have continued for centuries», says Muddaya. In India, hand weaving represents the major economic activity of an entire ancient civilization. «We clothed the world in the seventeenth century», Muddaya points out. Even before the seventeenth century, the highest percentage of India’s GDP was thanks to textiles. Like in many parts of the world, machines have progressively replaced labor-intensive crafts. However, given the strength of the tradition in India, hand weaving techniques are still distinguishable between regions. Kanchipuram and Banaras techniques Of course you’ll need a loom to start weaving. If you already have a lap loom, then great! Any of my tutorials can work on any lap loom. If you’re having trouble understanding how to do something on your specific loom then feel free to reach out to me and I’ll help the best I can ( [email protected]). If you don’t yet have a loom, then no problem. I have two ways to make your own loom:

If you’re a lover of diagrams, you’ll want this vintage diagram of weaving techniques to serve as your handy reference. 29. Woven Bookmark Image courtesy of A Pretty FixIn certain parts of India, the size of the weaving points are made based on condiments found in the kitchen», describes Muddaya. «You would use a sesame or mustard seed, for example. For each region, the weaver instinctively knows they cannot make a size bigger than the seeds which they are used to seeing in the village; or around their house». This paints a further picture of just how far intellectuality is pushed in hand weaving. Math, geometry and design represent the abundance of skills that a single artisan can possess, without even knowing it. The industrialization of weaving Any type of hand weaving can be done with a simple wooden frame, time permitting. The concept of lifting the threads up and down to produce the design remains the same. In this case, «the entire frame is worked by hand. There is no machinery involved. No pedal and no leavers», explains Weatherhead. To produce something at a reasonable speed, a loom is required. When it comes to tapestries: «It’s slow anyway, because you’re weaving tiny pieces of one color here and another there. It’s done by choice so there is no mechanism to help you». On the other side a completely different “ contemporary tapestry scene” has been evolving since 1970. It’s easy to look too far ahead in your enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is great, in fact, it’s essential, but don’t let it blind you. Start at the level you’re at and work your way up. If you choose something too difficult for your weaving level, you may be setting yourself up for frustration.

Summarising, the biggest difference of “modern tapestry” in comparison to “traditional tapestry” might be: Whoa, that’s a lot of info! Hopefully you’ve made it to the bottom of this post. This will definitely get you started on your weaving journey!! So now I would love to hear your story, how did you first discover the art of weaving? Have you woven before or is this your first time starting? I love to hear how others have found this art form that I love.Anyway, just wanted to say that (a) I suspect many players don't know about LA weaving and never will unless the game teaches it, and (b) some of us who know about it can't use it for various reasons.
