However, backstrap weaving, with hand-made heddles, would be possible at that fine a level. Typically people start with thicker weaving, and advance to the finer levels once they have mastered the basic techniques.Amelia of Ask The Bellwetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837966439073456616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183250014956175356.post-24299099208879285472015-09-17T01:35:23.882-07:002015-09-17T01:35:23.882-07:00Can 80 ends per inch fabric (high density fabric) ...Can 80 ends per inch fabric (high density fabric) woven on ashford rigid heddle .

The only thing to watch for is that the shed-- the space between the two layers-- is cut in half so you need a fairly thin shuttle or not much yarn on your stick shuttle, so it will move easily throu the shed.Amelia of Ask The Bellwetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837966439073456616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183250014956175356.post-26582478617498812632011-09-14T13:15:41.333-07:002011-09-14T13:15:41.333-07:00I have a two harness peacock loom.

I have been muddling this around my brain and I think I might have come up with a solution.<br />I think, you would first run your pickup stick through it's relative tie- up and THEN run your holes and slots with the remaining warp?<br />Does that make sense?<br />Hopefully, we'll see how it turns out Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645855331978331235noreply@blogger.com
