Honeycomb

Do you remember as a new weaver learning about honeycomb? It just boggled my mind that you could get curves on the woven grid. After all these years, honeycomb still is a favorite (and one my hubby Barry is very fond of as well&#;he calls it the gumdrop weave).

If you&#;re not familiar with honeycomb, let me just briefly say that it is a block weave. That is, there are blocks with different interlacements. One section weaves plain weave, the other weaves floats, and these exchange places. Weaving a row or two with a heavy outlining yarn adds dimension and accentuates the curves.

Honeycomb on the rigid heddle loom is very easy. You&#;ll need two pick-up sticks. One stays in place throughout and the other one will need to be taken out after each sequence. Honeycomb is great for many things: pillows, runners, borders on almost anything. An advantage of weaving honeycomb on the rigid heddle loom is that you can weave one sequence for awhile and then try something else just by taking your pick-up sticks out and re-picking.

Don't worry if the curves don't show up while you're weaving. They won't truly do their thing until the fabric has been removed from the loom and washed. Honeycomb is a fun weave. So....have fun playing around!

Advantages of Honeycomb Shades

Are you looking for an elegant yet functional window treatment? Honeycomb shades could be the perfect option for you! These window coverings offer a variety of advantages for any home they&#;re installed in. From their energy efficiency to their versatility, honeycomb shades are the perfect addition to any room. Here are some reasons why your windows need to have honeycomb shades today!

Better Insulation

Honeycomb shades are designed to create an air pocket between the window and the shade. This air pocket acts as an insulator and helps to keep the room temperature more comfortable. The shade has multiple layers of fabric that are pleated and sewn together, creating a honeycomb pattern. This pattern helps to trap air in pockets which reduces the transfer of air from the outside to the inside of the room. The air pocket also helps to reduce sound transmission, as the air pockets act as sound absorbers. The fabric also acts as a barrier to light, providing additional insulation.

Light Control 

Honeycomb shades are designed to provide excellent light control and privacy. They are constructed from two or more layers of honeycomb-shaped fabric, which creates small air pockets that form a barrier to light. When the shade is drawn, the air pockets trap the light and reduce the amount of light that passes through. The larger the honeycomb, the greater the light control. The shades can be ordered in varying levels of opacity, ranging from sheer to blackout, depending on the desired level of light control.

Reduced Energy Costs

The shades are made up of multiple layers of fabric that form an insulating pocket or &#;cell&#; that traps air and acts as an insulator. This air pocket helps to reduce energy loss and the amount of energy required to heat or cool the room.

 

The honeycomb design traps air in the cells and creates a barrier between the window and the room. This helps to reduce the amount of energy that is lost through the window. In the summer, the cells act as a barrier to keep the hot air out and help maintain cooler temperatures in the room. In the winter, the cells trap air and help keep the warm air in, resulting in higher energy efficiency.

Decreased Noise

Honeycomb shades are able to reduce noise due to the unique construction of the shades. The construction of honeycomb shades works by trapping air between two layers of fabric. This trapped air acts as an insulator, absorbing noise and preventing it from entering the room. The cellular structure of the shades also helps to absorb sound waves, further reducing the amount of noise that can enter the room. Honeycomb shades also reduce noise transmission from outside, as the pockets of air in the blinds act as a sound barrier. This makes honeycomb shades an ideal choice for soundproofing a room, as the blinds are able to effectively reduce noise coming from both inside and outside the house.
