The sheet that Jane Stafford is holding is not the same as in the PDF. The sheet she holds has 3 divisions whereas the PDF only has 2 divisions that do not look to be the same. What is correct?

Hi there, the PDF for download for the lesson is correct, thanks for checking though! There were changes done to the draft to accommodate the sample for this lesson that she is weaving in the 3.8.2 video.

For some reason, I got two background threads between the two light green warp threads. And it looks funny. I thought according to the pdf that the two light green warp threads should be next to each other in the fabric. I double checked the threading and the denting and they are correct. I can take a picture if needed. I have taken my sample off and need to rethread and/or re-sley before weaving again.

Thanks so much for sending this great episode out today. We (in NC) are under a hurricane watch and this is a great program to be watching as the rain is pouring down and the wind is blowing hard outside. Once again thanks.

In the video on the right is a beautiful crammed denting! What is the warp? Is appears not to exist. Thank you!

In the video it is way to the right of the blackboard. In some of the video you can see it swaying. It has bright colors in it. Definitely cram and denting. It appears no have no warp, but of course it does. Thank you!

Hi Nancy, in the JST Blog, Jane talks about the scarves on the wall and that one in perticular. Here’s the link https://janestaffordtextiles.com/blog/handweaving-in-india-part-2-oh-the-fabrics/
Enjoy!

I can’t find 16/2 raspberry here in the U.S. – what color is close to it? There is Cerise, Scarlet, and Garnet available

I’m hoping it will all come clear in the next section or when I actually do it, because I feel lost!

About to jump in to supplemental warp weaving; may I assume that your explanation for the CounterBalance tie up is the same alternative as for my CounterMarche? I simply reverse the placement for each treadle so that your empty boxes are the boxes I use for my cords? (or else my pattern will be upside down !!).

Love, love, love, love, love… this project. It was SO much fun to weave. Took me 2 days to figure out the warp colors. Doh. Nothing seemed like it would work… then this happened! 🙂

You would have to rewrite the draft Jane, to include the extra shafts and treadles. However, if you haven’t already woven the Supplementary Warp sample, that’s where I would start before creating your own unique cloth. Pay close attention to what’s happening while you weave, so that you can put your new knowledge into creating your own design. If you have Fiberworks PCW – you could “play” in that and see what happens!

Hi Rochelle. I have just finished a supplemental warp scarf using 16/2 bamboo. Sett at 20 epi. I had to beat carefully to maintain a 20 ppi beat but it turned out beautifully. It is stable, puddles like a dream, a touch see through. Makes a great fashion scarf. I also made one out of 8/2 tencel, same sett, same ppi which is nice but is thicker and less “dreamy”. I had to fluff the tencel scarf in my dryer on cool to get a softer hand.
The attached picture is the 16/2 bamboo scarf.

Curious–are the warp faced borders for aesthetic reasons or for structure or for both when doing the supplemental warp?

A number of us have sectional warps – Jane have you found a trick to weighting the sup warp threads? We find that the rod doesn’t hang far enough away from the beam to pass over the Unails on the sectional. Although one can hang weights on a full one inch section sometimes there are many sections across the warp and sometimes the thread are crossed over the nails …in other words there are a ton of individual weights making weaving no fun. Hoping you’ve found away around this that you can share with us. thanks
