Madelyn gives advice on how to figure out sett when your warp and weft are two different sizes.
Is there a preferred way to warp thin threads such as 60/2 silk?
Setting fine threads can introduce some interesting denting in the reed.
The yarns are beautiful to look at and wonderful to pet, I’m not sure how to use them in weaving (or if I even can use them in weaving) so that their best traits will shine and I won’t end up with a mess. Any suggestions on weaving with thick singles?
What is the best way of calculating the yardage for weft yarns used in a woven project in overshot? Is there some kind of formula to apply that would give an accurate estimate?
Is there any way to avoid sampling to determine "hand"?
How do you go about figuring out the best sett for an overshot shawl?
