Looking so psychedelic… this is overshot “woven on opposites”. I’m using the aqua for my main colour and orange for the accent colour. It beats more closely because there is no tabby to provide the base structure and looks more weft-faced. The treadling rhythm doesn’t feel as convenient as alternating two feet for pattern-tabby-pattern-tabby, but instead requires a bit of thinking (what’s the opposite of what I just treadled?!). Loving this interesting result though. I wonder how it would look with analogous colours. 💗 I’m using Ashford 5/2 mercerized cotton for these samples.
This looks so great. So instead of tabby, you are weaving an orange pick following the aqua on the opposite treadles. If aqua was on 1,2, then you throw aqua on 3 &4?
That’s absolutely correct! Yes! Instead of tabby, I weave the opposite treadles with the secondary colour!
Hi Felicia, I enjoy your YouTube channel. This 4 shaft piece is stunning and am wondering if there is a pattern for it.
Just stunning!
I’m a new weaver and your work is stunning.
Would you be willing to share the instructions for the pattern used in this example? It’s great!
Gracious! How did you come up with those incredible patterns
Makes my eyes x
They ARE beautiful. I’m setting up my Heddle table loom, my Norwegian cradle loom and my small Indian rug loom and a beading loom. I have a sun room that I’m turning into my weaving, beading room that I’m very excited about. I did tile art etc/design kit/bath tile for 30/40yrs and now weaving. Your lovely colors and intricate patterns are delightful and are inspiring, thank you
