As a knitter, I always "spit-splice" wool/animal fibers to avoid having to weave in the ends. So, while working on my double weave sample I decided to try that with the Harrisville Shetland. It works like a dream. Especially since I always get confused on the side and sequence location to do the color changes. What I do is when I am about to make a change or the bobbin in about to run out, I leave enough to go across once more so I have enough slack to work with. I will take some pictures if anyone is interested in how it looks. I'm soooo excited!
A picture would be great.
Yes please, I am interested in it too.
I forgot to take a picture BEFORE I finished it, but here you can see how the splices disappear after washing. Along the left side where th color changes are and the only place it sort of shows is on the bottom transition between the brown and green.

If you've never done a spit splice, here is a good demonstration. and I just realized the I didn't split the ends like I usually do in knitting (I was in a hurry and not that conscientious on this sample. If I had, they would be undetectable.;)

Thanks very good description in the linked tutorial. Nice weaving. The salvages look great.
Thanks, Barbara! I used to have terrible selvages when I. used my RHloom. But I seem to be much better at it on the David. Of course that is because of Jane's expert advice, too! ;)
