The frustrations that I’d been having with weaving developed in my mind and sat upon my shoulders as much burden.
Guilt, annoyance, frustration, insufficient motivation – each one of these negative emotions around weaving were just penned up.
I didn’t share this with anyone, therefore it went on, so the loom continued to sit empty. [newline]Most of all, I felt that I wasn’t with the capacity of learning all I wanted to with this loom, and so my motivation lagged completely.

Charles V commissioned a large set after his decisive victory at the Battle of Pavia in 1525; a collection is now in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples.
When he led an expedition to North Africa, culminating in the Conquest of Tunis in 1535 , he took the Flemish artist Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen with him, mainly to produce drawings for the group of tapestries ordered on his return.
After a probable gap since the 11th century, in the late 14th century sets of tapestries returned as the grandest medium for “official military art”, usually celebrating the victories of the person commissioning them.
Philip the Bold commissioned a Battle of Roosbeke set two years after his victory in 1382, that was five metres high and totalled over 41 metres wide.
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster insisted it had been changed when Philip displayed it at a diplomatic meeting in Calais in 1393 to negotiate a peace treaty; Gaunt regarded the subject-matter as inappropriate for the occasion.

The fundamental feature of a tufted Axminster carpet is that the tufts are inserted row by row between your warp threads, either before or after being take off, and so are then bound down by the weft, therefore woven into the ground of the texture.
Each tuft can be used on the surface, and forms section of the design; none of the tuft material is hidden away or wasted in your body of the fabric beyond what’s needed for attachment to the binding weft.
The weaver always works on the trunk of the piece, and is normally following a full-size drawn or painted cartoon, or possibly another tapestry; based on the set up, this reverses the tapestry image.
The cartoon was generally produced from a smaller modello, which in “industrial” workshops from at the very least the late DARK AGES on was made by a specialist artist, who often had little or no further involvement along the way.

Pin Loom Weaving Needles Revisited

It can be harder to cover the ends of bulky or super-bulky yarn.
Since this sort of yarn is thicker, it has the tendency to show.
One thing you can do to hide bulkier yarns is to split them into plies, and weave in each ply separately.
Generally, you’ll weave the ends horizontally through the bottom of the stitches, or down vertically through the post of taller stitches.
Work up and down and side to side, changing directions a few times to make sure that the ends won’t come out.
Most crocheters weave in the ends before blocking and seaming, however, many prefer to weave in the ends after blocking.

• Much is unclear concerning the early history of tapestry, as actual survivals are very rare, and literary mentions in Greek, Roman and other literature hardly ever give enough detail to determine that a tapestry technique has been described.

A better alternative would be to expose the yarn hung on poles in a heated chamber.
Probably the most certain and satisfactory method, however, is a drying machine of some kind, which enables the skeins to be fed involved with it at one end, to pass through an ongoing of heated air, also to be delivered dry at another.
The factors in this instance, the heat of the steam coils and the speed of the machine, are known and may be controlled; in order that the dyer can rely upon getting a certain quantity of yarn satisfactorily dried in a certain time.
In the ordinary type of machine, the skeins are carried horizontally between two wire aprons; but alternatively they are often carried vertically upon hooks or poles.

This can be a common fallacy, that the yarns of Oriental carpets are dyed solely with vegetable dyes, and that those dyes are intrinsically superior to aniline and alizarine dyes, such as for example are employed for yarns for machine-made fabrics.
The latter have been used for many years now by European carpet manufacturers, not because they’re cheaper than vegetable dyes, but because they’re better to use, more accurate for matching purposes, and faster to light.
