But enough trying to explain it! Let’s watch the video.

Mingo’s Corner – Our girl, Michele Marshall, recently played with Danish Medallions and left us a lovely blog post. If you are new to Michele, she’s a weaver specializing in the rigid heddle loom and our official Rigid Heddle Consultant for our Acton Creative Weave Alongs! She’s just the best. Please enjoy her thoughts on Danish Medallions right here.  (And be sure to subscribe to her blog!)

Leno Lace – In this week’s episode, I refer to other hand-manipulated lace patterns, like Leno. If that’s a new one for you, don’t fret! I’ve got you covered with a Leno lace episode right here. While you’re playing with Danish Medallions, you might as well try a few other lace patterns, I say!

Hand-Manipulated Lace Patterns – In this episode, I mention both Leno and Brooks Bouquet because I have a touch of experience with them. However, in this great Gist article, they refer to Danish Medallions and Spanish Lace as two other great examples of hand-manipulated lace patterns. So I say go crazy and try them all! Why not? Here’s the link to show you how. 

Case for Lace – WAY back in the history of A Handwoven Experience, I recorded an early episode all about lace. And while it’s an oldie, it is definitely a goodie! Check out “A Case for Lace” right here.  (Little bit of trivia for you – I was weaving lace when the group came up with the idea to do a Weave Along!)

Episode 96 just skims the surface of the fascinating world of leno. It’ll set you up for success as you explore all the twisty things you can do with this lace pattern. Enjoy!

Show Notes –

Bead Leno – have you already tried leno and are ready to complicate things? Give bead leno a go! I found a very interesting article from Flora & Fiber about this version of leno. And as it turns out, the beads in bead lino are part of the process – not part of the finished product. Go figure! I learn something new everyday! Click here to read more about this fascinating weave technique. 

Floating selvedges – as you watch today’s video, you’ll hear me highly recommend incorporating a pair of floating selvedges into your leno project. So I have a reminder on standby, just in case you need a refresher on what those are and how to install them on your loom. Peruse episode 42 right here to jog your memory!
