Huck lace weaving

This summer I’d like to weave and sew a lacy top. One of my first weaving projects as a silk scarf woven in huck lace and plain weave. It was so delicate. I am always intrigued with lace weav…

This week in weaving class I continued to work on my huck towels. I finished the requisite 33″ on the first draft discussed last week – not without an issue that was causing me no smal…

It's time for another episode of the School of Weaving that builds on everything we've learned about Huck. Swedish Lace is Huck's cousin. They live on the same side of Lace Street. Swedish Lace units are the same as Huck's but in Swedish Lace we are allowed to repeat those units as many times as we want. Ms. Swedish Lace is a little more lenient :) When we understand how this works, it means we can use Swedish Lace and Huck in one piece....as you will see in our show and tell…

Can you believe this is the same structure as the May Towel of the Month? Who knew Lace Bronson (aka Atwater-Bronson) could take on a three-dimensional look almost like a waffle? To get this result, instead of threading 14 units of Bronson and one unit "turned" as in the May towel, I tried threading 2 units of the lace alternating with 2 units of the turned lace. I wove similarly, 2 repeats of each treadling sequence alternately. This is another sample, 2 units of lace threading alternating…
