| Any other stick weavers out there?  | | | |  Stick weaving has been traced back to the time of the Crusades. I learned it at an SCA event. It caught my eye because it works up a lot faster than knitting or crochet or inkle weaving and it a fantastic and easy way to make straps and scarves.
I made my own sticks out of dowels. I've had good luck using the woolease yarn. I usually use one color for the inside cord and another for the outside cord. When I have time, I'll add photos to this. Or see them on my Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/pho...

| |  Hmm, I have spent nearly 20 years doing historic textiles and I know of no evidence for medieval stick weaving! I'm exceptionally happy to be proved wrong though if you could share some references and academic sources! There has been a bit of a craze for it in the reenactment circles over the last few years but I know of no academic articles, archaeological finds or manuscript illustrations that show it. As I say though, would be delighted to be shown evidence to the contrary though :)

| | Yep, we are all looking for the Holy Grail.
But documentable or not, I never would have heard of it if it weren't for the SCA.

| | Thats fair enough, all sorts of lovely techniques show up in places you might not expect them, but because you said it had been traced I was really hoping you could show me that evidence :) | | | | | | | Christmas Craft Ideas Find Fun & Easy Christmas Crafts at yellowpages.com | add comment | | | |

| | If you click on my flickr link above you'll see the photos. With mylots new policies, I won't be able to add them to the thread until I reach 500 points. I can understand them changing a rule, but it really should have applied to future members, not members that were already used to the freedom of posting their own photos.
