Satin Sample
February 2nd, 2007 by Matt
Since I have finished my last scarf I decided to try a satin next. I warped on Saturday and have been weaving on it since then. This is not a full scarf I am just weaving a sample so I get the hand of it and find out everything before I start my scarf. I just started to making samples. Since I could only make plain weave on my last loom there was no point to make samples but now I find them VERY handy. With this sample I found out that I need floating selvedge’s . I am still able to weave and its looking amazing.
Here is the front:
Here is the back:
As you can see the warp ends up showing on the back and the weft ends up showing on the front.
This is the first time I saw the back since I started weaving. I released the tension and flipped the piece over and I was floored. WOW!!! I could not believe how nice it looks and how nice it feels.
I will keep you updated.
