\"\"<\/a>

Yellow cedar (approximately) 1\/8″ strips – the color darkens to the like of red cedar because the sap is cooked out of the cedar in order to spin with the wool<\/p><\/div>\n

A new student of Chilkat asked me a very good question:\u00a0 does it matter if we spin our Chilkat warp with yellow or red cedar bark strips?\u00a0 Is there a significant difference?<\/p>\n

Yes, it does matter if we use yellow or red. \u00a0 However, the option is up to the weaver.\u00a0 And sometimes a spinner\/weaver does not have a choice because of availability.<\/p>\n

Yellow cedar is more pliable and supple than red.\u00a0 The yellow cedar and wool spin up smoothly for Chilkat warp.\u00a0 Some of us will use the red IF we do not have yellow available.\u00a0 The red does not split as evenly or smoothly as yellow.\u00a0 Warp with red cedar is a bit more stiff than warp with yellow (of course too this depends on the wool\/bark ratio).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Split cedar strands hang alongside prepared wool roving on an antique drying rack – ready for spinning Chilkat warp!<\/p><\/div>\n

You will notice red cedar used in the old Chilkat robes.\u00a0 These robes have a bit more “body” than those robes woven with yellow cedar warp.\u00a0 Like I mentioned, the preference is up to the spinner\/weaver, and the whether or not the spinner\/weaver has a choice in the availability of red or yellow cedar.<\/p>\n
