This strap is
one of my personal favorites; woven in gray wool with natural wool
borders, and the design of chevrons (used frequently in the 18th
century) is woven in a heathered blue raw silk. The colors and design in
this strap creates a very natural and pleasing effect to the eye. It
will be perfect for any powder horn, hunting bag or shooting pouch as
well as any other accoutrement. Dimensions are 53" long x 2
3/4" wide. SOLD |
I have begun yet another style of
weaving for creating hand-woven straps and sashes; a method new to me, but very
old in history. My "harness" loom is basically a smaller version of
the large barn looms that were used often in the 18th century for weaving cloth,
blankets and other textiles. With it I am creating beautiful accoutrement straps
and sashes. The look is quite different from the inkle weaving, brocading and
cardweaving on the other pages of this website, but just as beautiful & as
useful. So take a look, and if you have questions or comments about anything you
see here, please feel free to contact me! Thank you for your time in looking.
