1” cardboard strips were used for separators between samples, and we either used Fray-Chek or hemstitched the ends of each sample. I hemstitched mine.
Here's Bonnie's already washed sample - the texture is so different from the cloth on the loom!

Huck Luck Adventure Workshop
Our Weaving Chicks Study Group had a workshop this past weekend on Huck Variations, 12 different patterns using the same threading and tieup, just changing the treadling.
My friend Bonnie organized and presented it. We did two sets of the 12 samples, one set to wash and one set to leave as-is for comparison. We used a thick 8/3 white cotton as both warp and weft, and some people used color for one repeat of each pattern to make the design more visible.

We learned a lot about huck and its different textures, and are already dreaming about different uses/projects for different designs. A great time was had by all!

Looks like a fun time! I love weaving with huck, and there are SO many possibilities that I haven't even thought of yet!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what fun. I just love exploring and experimenting like that. Huck is a great one to do that with.
ReplyDeleteHuck is a great way to play with texture. Nice study.
