Myggtjäll curtains

Becky first wove these lightweight, somewhat transparent curtains as an extra project towards the end of her five-month weaving class in Sweden in 1981. Their lacy structure and uneven denting give them a pleasing look; they are one of our most popular. Purchase a warp all ready to beam onto your loom at home. No need to worry about the math, simply choose your color and let us do the rest.

If you keep a somewhat loose warp tension and putting your foot up from the treadle as you swing the beater forward, leaving plenty of slack thread from the shuttle, you may not need to use a temple - resulting in beautiful selvedges.
