Floating SelvedgeUpdated 6 months ago

A floating selvedge is a technique used when weaving with patterns that skip warp threads at the edge of the fabric. Extra warp threads are added on either side of the main warp and are not threaded through the heddles, allowing them to “float” freely. These floating threads ensure clean, even edges in complex patterns.

Fun Fact: Floating selvedges are especially helpful in twill patterns and prevent loose or uneven edges.
