About Me
- Sandra Rude
- I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.

Are you using black weft, in a much finer grist than the warp, throughout? That's the best I can figure by looking at your photos.
Peg, the first scarf has a navy blue weft in a 20/1 tencel. The second is black 40/2 silk. The last piece on the warp will be a deep purple 20/2 tencel. I generally prefer to use a finer weft than warp, but I had the purple weft in the stash so I'm gonna use it. Sandra
Peg, I forgot to mention that the warp sett is closer than usual (48 epi) for 20/2 tencel. I sett it at 48, so that the cloth is warp-dominant, and the weft (of whatever size) can't beat to square.
Oops. The normal sett would be 40 epi; I sett it at 48 epi.
