Weaving Curves
Weaving curves with the ondulé or fan reed. I don’t use it very often as it is hard on my back.

People assume it was a dream to live here, a professional move or family connections. What actually happened is that we set sail on a 6 month sailing journey in 1990, and 3 and a half years later, ended up in France. Watch my short presentation on YouTube to see and hear the full story
A short time ago, I made a couple of videos showing how I attached the ondulé reed to my loom and how I adjusted it during weaving. I was on my own and had to fix the camera in place and hope for the best. So, it’s not perfect, but I think you will get the idea.
Recently, I have had a few questions from newer weavers about the equipment I use for warping. So I have prepared a brief overview with photos. I hope you find it useful.
Last week I started weaving a very simple blue silk shawl. It is only one colour but using a block twill creates squares all the way down. Hard to take a good photo, but you can see what I mean.
