sensei's fabrics. understated elegance.it takes a lot of will to weave one tan, the traditional bolt of kimono fabric measuring 36cms by 11mts.long.
i am progressing slowly and i'm not weaving a tan, just a mere 3-4 mts.
upon examining i quit being a purist; it's ok for the industry to use ll kinds of starches and warp dressings, why it shouldn't be ok for me?ditched the romance of the hand made and i am spraying the warp to my life's content with hairspray.
ergo the warp is behaving and i am weaving better.
Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.

Your fabric is beautiful! Your hairspray dilemma reminds me of the hemp waffle towels I wove awhile back. I ended up painting the warp with flax seed sizing or else the handspun hemp/cotton threads kept breaking. Worked really well and washed right out in the finishing.
