I fight pretty badly with my Glimakra and don't feel so comfy contacting Joanne (again) when I don't even live on the same continent.Stefanie Rochéhttp://woolywanderings.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35771337.post-868709985010358742009-10-24T08:30:40.927-07:002009-10-24T08:30:40.927-07:00Thanks for the tips, Laritza!

I normally use a fly-shuttle and never ever touch the weft except while putting it on the pirn. So coaxing something through the shed *by hand!* and tugging it into position at the selvedge is just plain alien.Sandra Rudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691078578557110217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35771337.post-679241931595405432009-10-24T07:42:12.834-07:002009-10-24T07:42:12.834-07:00Me too -- ski shuttle wound around and around, als...Me too -- ski shuttle wound around and around, also the wide sett for the warp worked beautifully. I used the same wool warp I prefer for tapestry weaving. It must feel odd to you to weave with this stuff Sandra, so different from fine threads.Mernahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394194088532001457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35771337.post-83654049489722588502009-10-23T19:24:05.549-07:002009-10-23T19:24:05.549-07:00This I have done with great success.

Just wind them around and around and around, that way you don't get any bulk on the top, the bulk will be towards the sides...if you look at the shuttle like a real ski. That way you can get a lot of weft in and it will clear the shed without a problem. The bits of hairy stuff will stick out on their own. Someone suggested to use a fork, but I found it is not necessary. I set warp at 6 epi and my rugs are nice and 'hairy'. The other thing is to look at the yarn and lay it on the shed always in the same direction, it has a hairy side and a 'flat' side. You have to be consistent and the rug will be hairy one one side and flat on the other. There is a picture of one of my rugs here: http://yorksett.blogspot.com/2009/04/pendelton-selvage-rug-and-mystery-yarn.html.<br /><br />Beat HARD 4 times each pick with both hands remember Mary Meigs Atwater said 'a rug is not good if you can stick your finger in it'Laritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380883584186444453noreply@blogger.com
