A tie-up is also like a pizza in that you can put different toppings on each slice. (I know that sounds like a stretch, but bear with me.) In the What is Twill? course, we discussed that
- [Four ways to calculate sett when weaving (Ashenhurst's Rule Part 2)](https://handweavingacademy.com/calculating-sett-using-ashenhursts-rule/) - Need to find the sett for an unfamiliar yarn or in a draft that isn't plain weave or twill? Here are some ways to get the right sett, using Ashenhurst's Rule.
- [What to do when you haven't got enough heddles on a shaft](https://handweavingacademy.com/what-to-do-when-you-havent-got-enough-heddles-on-a-shaft/) - A question came up in a Facebook group from a weaver who wanted to use a huck threading like this… …but she didn’t have enough heddles on Shafts 1 and 4. If she was working with a four shaft loom, she would be limited to either moving heddles, or adding repair heddles to Shafts 1
- [Design your own twill, with the new Twill Generator](https://handweavingacademy.com/design-your-own-twill-with-the-new-twill-generator/) - There are a lot of fabulous twill drafts out there, but how do you create something that is truly your own? In the past, a weaver would sit down with some graph paper and start sketching. It takes significant time to fill in the threading, tie up and treadling, then fill in a repeat or
- [Sampling: It's not what you think](https://handweavingacademy.com/sampling-its-not-what-you-think/) - Few topics seem more divisive for weavers than sampling. Some people love weaving samples, others hate it. But sampling isn't just weaving swatches of cloth!
- [How I tie on a warp: Janet's version](https://handweavingacademy.com/how-i-tie-on-a-warp-janets-version/) - Last week Kathy described her process for tying a warp onto the front apron rod. This week, I’ll tell you how and why I do things a little differently. To be clear: both methods work! Neither one of us is trying to convince you our way is better! Our goal is to just show you
- [Figuring out EPI from an irregular sleying pattern](https://handweavingacademy.com/figuring-out-epi-from-an-irregular-sleying-pattern/) - When you’re sleying every dent in the reed with the same number of ends, it’s pretty easy to tell how many ends per inch you’ll get: you just multiply the number of ends per dent by the number of dents per inch and presto, there’s your answer. For example: 1 end per dent x 12
- [Make your weaving glow!](https://handweavingacademy.com/make-your-weaving-glow/) - Did you know that you can make your weaving glow? By using color patterns that are light in the center, but taper off into darkness at the sides, you can give the impression of a glowing object. In this draft, the center of the stripe looks like a glowing tube radiating light into a dark
- [How to choose the best reed (and sleying order) when the perfect reed is not available](https://handweavingacademy.com/how-to-choose-the-best-reed-and-sleying-order-when-the-perfect-reed-is-not-available/) - Many weavers have a limited number of reeds available to them. If you have a 12 dent reed, and the project you are working on has a 24 epi Sett, you simply sley 2 ends in each dent. Easy peasy! What happens if you DON'T have the perfect reed available? Example 1: Anne Hiemstra ran
- [Product Review: Palette Scout by Zollie](https://handweavingacademy.com/product-review-palette-scout-by-zollie/) - Zollie, a sister company to GIST Yarn, has come out with a new color product, Palette Scout. They were kind enough to send me a review copy, so I played around with it earlier this week. I love it! I think it’s very well thought-out and will be useful to anyone who wants to explore
- [Proportion: How to Tame Troublesome Hues](https://handweavingacademy.com/proportion-how-to-tame-troublesome-hues/) - Have you ever struggled with a color so bright, it took over your entire piece? Some colors are hard to use in handwoven cloth, because they blaze out so strongly that they dominate the piece. Yellows, oranges, and hot pink are the most assertive hues, but if you pair equal amounts of any bright color
- [Fix a wrong sett - WITHOUT resleying](https://handweavingacademy.com/fix-a-wrong-sett-without-resleying/) - As you probably know, sett is critical to getting your project right: if it’s too open, the weft beats in too much and covers the warp. If it’s too close, the fabric can wind up stiff and unsuitable for its purpose. When working with a new yarn or a new structure, we usually make a
- [How to fix your twill when neither side matches the drawdown - and gain more design options as a result!](https://handweavingacademy.com/how-to-fix-your-twill-when-neither-side-matches-the-drawdown-and-gain-more-design-options-as-a-result/) - Have you ever started weaving and realized that the fabric on the loom doesn’t look like the drawdown or picture? That happened to Susan Palwick recently, so she posted pictures of her drawdown (draft #80355 from Handweaving.net) and her fabric on Facebook, and asked if anyone could help figure out what was happening. Most of
- [Using a Trapeze](https://handweavingacademy.com/using-a-trapeze/) - This blog was written by Sue Willingham. Each year, about this time, I’m preparing the looms in my studio for a three day class that Janet and I call “Towelapalooza”. All ten looms in my studio are pre-warped with ten different drafts, checked, and ready to weave on when folks arrive. Since we have up
- [How to measure YPP or MPKG without a yarn balance](https://handweavingacademy.com/how-to-measure-ypp-or-mpkg-without-a-yarn-balance/) - If you don’t have a yarn balance you can determine yards per pound (YPP) or meters per kilogram (MPKG) of a yarn by measuring a known length and extrapolating from its weight. A short length is bound to be too light for most scales to weigh accurately, so the best approach is to wind yourself
- [What do you do when you can't weave?](https://handweavingacademy.com/what-do-you-do-when-you-cant-weave/) - As I’ve been working on updating the courses for the Color Editor and its Gradients Editor, I’m also working on learning even more about the Draft Editor to put together a course on it. This means I am taking our courses and focussing on using the Draft Editor to complete the exercises - and boy,
- [Scale: How it can turn your designs from muddy to magnificent](https://handweavingacademy.com/scale-how-it-can-turn-your-designs-from-muddy-to-magnificent/) - Sometimes creating handwoven fabrics feels like wrestling mischievous imps. A project that looks gorgeous in the initial sketch, or in a weaving software simulation, turns into a muddy mess when woven. A garment that looked great while you were sewing it blurs into shapelessness from across the room. Figuring out what happened can feel hopeless.
- [A handwoven RAG??](https://handweavingacademy.com/a-handwoven-rag/) - As I am aging and getting better at collecting years, I find that I am less results-oriented in my fiber work. I no longer care so much if things take a lot of time or a little, or how many things I finish each year. Maybe it’s that time feels different now, or maybe it’s
- [How to calculate sett using Ashenhurst’s Rule](https://handweavingacademy.com/who-or-what-is-an-ashenhurst/) - If you need to calculate sett for an unfamiliar yarn while weaving, Ashenhurst’s Rule is your friend. Learn what Ashenhurst’s rule is & how to apply it.
- [Frustrated with your weaving? Six Strategies to help.](https://handweavingacademy.com/frustrated-with-your-weaving-six-strategies-to-help/) - Sooner or later, it happens. Your warp gets tangled, you make a bunch of mistakes while threading, or you find a treadling error - after you’ve woven four more inches. Or your project colors don’t turn out as expected. What do you do when your project has you ready to pull your hair out? This
- [Weaving Resolutions - and some alternatives](https://handweavingacademy.com/weaving-resolutions-and-some-alternatives/) - I have just returned from a family trip, and while I was avoiding the mountain of laundry that needs to be washed getting back into my routines, I spent some time browsing through the Academy. I noticed that in each members’ profile, there is a section titled “weaving goals”. This piqued my curiosity so I
- [Ending Shaft Envy](https://handweavingacademy.com/ending-shaft-envy/) - Once upon a time, I was under the illusion that more shafts are always better. Because on a loom with eight shafts, you can weave four-shaft designs as well as eight-shaft ones, so you get more design freedom. But why stop there? On a 16-shaft loom, you can weave four, eight, and twelve-shaft designs (not
