Tablet Weaving Advent 2023

This year I indulged in a little festive silliness and picked random drafts from my book Warp-Twined Angles and wove them up in festive colours. I used the same threading diagram as the book, but swapped red for the black, white for the grey and green for the white. I also changed up the colours of the selvedge tablets a bit too so that all three colours are represented in them. Instead of the black weft of the original, I used red to match it to the main motif colour in the drafts.

Of the two threading diagrams above, the top one is from Warp-Twined Angles and the lower one is the modified version I'm using for this project. The yarn I'm using is a sock-weight merino/nylon blend by Mothy and the Squid in the colours Ruby, Avocado and Snowdrop.

I released a video each day of advent of me picking a draft, then showing what it looks like woven up in the new colours. There's also a playlist on my YouTube channel that has all my advent videos gathered together. I also released the videos over in my Instagram account, where you can find me as @tabletweaving. You can watch the video for day 1 in the window below.
