This is one of my first forays into complex treadling
And foolishly I’m using a weft that is nearly the same colour as the warp
Low light brings out the texture

Started something today I don’t often do - winingas or wickelbänder
Or
Leg wraps
I find weaving narrow width rather fiddly and prefer weaving wide cloth
But I also know folks love a good set of winingas

Weaving a long narrow warp is fast to wind out and dress the loom
But they also take more wool than you may think

This set is 2/8 jaggerspun mainline (a yarn I purchased thinking it would be perfect for these BUT the mill is closing this spring)
The warp is 8.5 m or just over 9 yards long
The set is 18 ends per inch and threaded in a broken twill design
I wound out 4.5” inches which will end up close to 4” wide when done

Dressing the loom from start to finish was just over an hour - very speedy
The weaving will take a while

Tried something a little different for me in December
Weft faced weaving - where the warp threads are spaced wide and the weft packs down and completely covers the warp
I made some throw rugs for gifts with the assistance of my quality control cat - he is helpful as a weight when fringe twisting

Latest panels are finished
Woven in Harrisville Shetland and washed to bloom but not full the wool
These are woven in a broken diamond as artifacts found in birka, but in a heavier wool for a modern take on the period aesthetic
