I gave up on the big stuff because weaving yarn is costly and you use a lot of it. From now on it's tea towels, placemats and table runners for me.<br />Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193069937305434031.post-40182477019691127762013-06-07T12:23:38.740-04:002013-06-07T12:23:38.740-04:00That looks so cool!

In theory it should go through just fine but I can't seem to get the right amount of push on it. One problem is that I keep forgetting to push the beater all the way back to form the shed. I leave it halfway back which not only minimizes the shed but lets me pick up the wrong threads from the bottom quite often.<br />I am so happy to hear that a change in yarn may help those terrible selvages. They are making me crazy.Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193069937305434031.post-82577738426832856582013-06-06T12:15:14.880-04:002013-06-06T12:15:14.880-04:00OH I m so glad it was fun even if there is a learn...OH I m so glad it was fun even if there is a learning curve!kathy bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534431969086721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193069937305434031.post-34849921062493391332013-06-06T05:57:06.539-04:002013-06-06T05:57:06.539-04:00You might need a flatter, lower profile boat shutt...You might need a flatter, lower profile boat shuttle. That particular shuttle needs a very wide shed, and it's possible that your loom doesn't have that. you should be able to throw the shuttle from one side & catch it on the other. You shouldn't have to push the shuttle thru. Part of your selvage problems will disappear when you switch to weaving yarn from knitting yarn. Knitting yarn is soft & squishy and therefore difficult even for an experienced weaver to get nice selvages with.<br /><br />Keep it up! You've got a great start.BlueLoomhttp://www.blueloom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193069937305434031.post-21177916720782181662013-06-06T05:27:59.477-04:002013-06-06T05:27:59.477-04:00Wow!
