Turns out I was lifting the shuttle straight up on the left, and up and back on the right (as the shuttle exits). So now I try to go up and back on the left as I beat, and they're better.<br /><br />Tencel is a booger, too. Very slippery slidey. I've only ever used a rayon slub, which isn't as bad. <br /><br />Like the colors, though!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-2051200022516490932013-04-29T05:13:21.050-07:002013-04-29T05:13:21.050-07:00I like the green yarn best in the weaving.

I can't wait to see what you do with one.Benitahttp://www.basicallybenita.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-45286147171160269302013-04-27T09:11:40.847-07:002013-04-27T09:11:40.847-07:00it is so funny that you posted about beating with ...it is so funny that you posted about beating with the shed open or closed. when i first taught myself to weave from books, my natural instinct was to beat on a closed shed. i have done it that way forever.but i was watching a weaving video a few weeks back and noticed they were weaving on an open shed. i immediately wondered what the difference would be and have been thinking about a one shuttle towel warp to practice on. when i read your post i chuckled and thought...either great minds think alike or you and i both fell through the weaving rabbit hole together! keep me posted on your observations while i plug away on my 10 yard overshot warp.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180618217400520638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-81974518879144200312013-04-26T05:06:52.031-07:002013-04-26T05:06:52.031-07:00Every project is a learning experience.....and I o...Every project is a learning experience.....and I object to the rule about beating on open or close shed...I think you have to find what feels right and works for you.<br />with rugs, I beat twice. once open, change feet, once closed.

I've also noticed that after wet finishing, my selvedges straighten up a bunch! Your art yarn will make great weft for a scarf!!!LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462467778213463088noreply@blogger.com
