Tapestry weaving is in some sense, taking a journey up the warp. It is a process that starts at the bottom and moves upward.

Always.

(okay, almost always)

I know some of you that have watched videos, read books, and even taken courses by some of the weavers prevalent on Instagram may be confused by this. They do teach weaving in the middle of the warp and then filling in around it with a needle. I maintain that this is a poor way to construct a tapestry and I’ll go so far as to even call it wrong. (with apologies for my stubbornness)

Here are my reasons.
