I've tried searching to see if this has been covered before, but I only found a comment by Sara:
"Those annoying little floats can also be needlewoven carefully into invisibility when the cloth is off the loom and prior to wet finishing."
So I am looking for some tips from all of you weaving experts on how to do this.
I just finished my first try at block weaving--block twill drall scarves (Streckler p.55 #228) using 8/2 tencel.
And have found a couple of long floats that occurred on the underside when warp threads apparently got stuck on the wrong side of the shed and I missed catching them as I wove.
So do I use the same tencel or some sewing thread to somehow tighten up the floats?
It seems the tencel would bulk up the block very noticeably rather than invisibly.
Is there a good source to refer to?
Once again a big thank you from a newby.
