Swedish [Huck] Weaving

Post by wendy »

At last I have finished my first throw, dunno where it is going though :? .
I have enjoyed doing it. But you have to hand sew a hem on the two rough edges. Then wash and press. Once you have done that you have to hand sew all four sides >dum< and you can start to sew. Now I have finished I have to machine hem all the sides and then cut of the ends of the wool used so they are inside the hems.
I dislike sewing....strangely enough. I have enough material to do another the same size. Which I might do for one of my daughters and after that I am not sure.

I saw an American lady doing it on the last holiday we went on.
It looked so lovely, I thought I would have a go.
I couldn't get the material, Monks Cloth, in this Country so had to get it from the States. Then blow me some time after I was in Hobbycraft and there it was >dum< It is much easier than cross stitch and embroidery. It is just the initial hand hemming that got to me.
We will see if I carry on. But I do have loads of cross stitch sets to do though.

Lovely to see the Swedish Weaving on a finished project. It really does look great and probably even better when seeing the texture of the cloth.
As already said Wendy, you must have terrific patience, something that I don't have, unfortunately.
I know it's sometimes hard to calculate time as things are picked up and put down as the fancy takes you, but roughly how long did it take you to make?
A job to be proud of. :-D

I started it around the 6th of July. Give or take a few days.
I love it as well. But still haven't a clue where I am going to put it.

Not difficult at all. Just get the pattern in line.
But easy to pick up and put down. Although a bit bulky.

I think you should leave it where it is. It looks lovely on that table. Nice colours, I've never heard of it before.

Wendy, I am visiting the states in a few weeks and would like to get myself a huck weaving kit to keep me occupied during the dark nights, do you have any advice on what I should get ?
I have no idea where to start but I am very impressed with yours )t'

No Davina, as I have just done the one {rofwl}
If you have been to the States before you will know they have the most fabulous craft and hobby stores. So I would think they sell kits, with material, needle, wool and pattern. Also from the past I have found the staff very helpful, so they should point you in the right direction.
I do hope you do it, it is really easy and looks so lovely.
