This is the spot for Q&As and sharing what you’ve learned in Season 7

So excited for the new season!

Will season 7 only be about 8 shafts? Will there be anything for 4 shaft? Thanks Anna

Only episode 1 of season 7 is for 8 shafts, the rest of the episodes are for 4. It won’t be until 2024 (season 8) when we begin diving into 8 shaft weaving in more depth.

I am weaving the alternative color and weave turned twill and I am wondering since it is a twill why there isn't a floating selvedge. It doesn't seem to be catching the outside threads.

Jane doesn’t always use floating selvedges with twill, as she doesn’t mind a float of four or less threads at the edges. It creates that curl you see at the selvedges when off the loom and washed, but can be ironed out. Basically, if she doesn’t have to (ie - no basketweave or double shots in the same shed), she doesn’t use a floating selvedge. If you prefer to use one, go for it. Jane discusses this in Season 5’s episode of turned twill.

Thank you. I started weaving it without the floating selvedges and it looks fine ! Really fun to weave!
