I wanted to weave with some lovely pinkish-mauve yarns for a while, so I set up a regular 16 cards weave with Oseberg edging using these these colours (even though I don’t really use much pink, but the colours spoke to me). But when I started weaving, I feel that it turned out a bit too pink and I hesitated to change it by cutting out one or 2 threads per card. In the end I flipped the motif colors (mauve) and the background colour (green) and continued to weave approximately 2 m. I also worked on some variations of the leaf theme for 16 cards, which I will upload on the design page.
Then I attached the weft and cut out the accompanying colours to do some pebble weave with 2 missing holes, and it turned out much nicer than my initial weave. I regret not doing it sooner, since I only had enough warp to weave around 60cm.
The 1st belt looks like this:
The second, shorter pebble weave looks like this:
It’s amazing how the mauve colour looks so different (nicer) when the lighter thread is gone.
The switch…
