Thank you!
I looked on you tube and found some good clear explanations for clasp weave. The project I tried with two colors worked great. I have yet to try more than that,though there is a video about how to use multiple colors.
so can you use or rather how do you use your floating selvage when doing clasp weave. I did not find that on you tube so far.....
thank you Margaret for responding !
I left the floating selvage off but if you want to use it, treat it just like you normally do which is over on the right, and under on the left or over on the left snd under on the right. That is how I use it at least. Basically you have two colors. One color starts of the left and one color starts on the right. The color on the left comes to the right one and pulls it into the shed.
The technique is kind of fun because you can decide where the second color stops and starts .
I had done a limited amount of clasp weaving on scarfs using 8/2 materials. I would bring up the thread med warp, change shed and then continue back the other direction. When I tried that on the color gamp, it became very bulky and not visually pleasing...hard to make a clean edge even when using the black boarder. Will have to try with 16/2...but I tried it. :)
