3 Colors for casting on, how to do that? That’s what I was wondering about, after I learned how to do the versions with 2 colors. I started trying out things, and this is what I figured out. It is not that hard, but you really have to pay attention to the order of the colors that you fold over and keep in the middle. Remember to click on the pictures if you want to see them full size.

Same technique, different effect At the previous page you saw how to do the cast on with 2 colors, where the sideways V-shapes where alternating with their colors. You could also do it a bit differently. The technique stays the same (so do that tutorial first if you haven’t done that yet), but starting off with the colors placed differently, gives different looks. In this tutorial I will show you the effect of 2 variations. The first variation is shown at the top of the page, the second one you can see below.

What is Tāniko? I won’t go into detail elaborately what Tāniko is exactly, for that I would advice you to get the books written about it. I actually want to focus on the technique, but I will give a short introduction what it is. Tāniko (this is the official way to write it, but you will also find it under Taaniko), is a finger weaving technique that’s developed by the Maori people in New Zealand.  It is among other things used for traditional clothing, often as a border, because the weaving actually creates quite a stiff cloth. You don’t need a loom for Tāniko. YouRead More →
