Weaverly

There’s some studio reorganization going on around here, and I had to pause the basket/plainweave experiments.

In the interim, I made three small “garbage warps” of mixed odds and ends, as a sort of palette cleanser. This was a good opportunity to polish up my warping skills, which have gotten a bit sloppy lately.

First picture is the back of the loom after beaming and threading…

…and a bit closer if you like…

…and now the first few inches of plain old plainweave, just to see what would happen. This is a mixture of cottons of various sizes, tencel, cottolin, and a few mystery fibers.

Well, that was fun, and a real stash-buster besides. Now back to work.

Department of Books: I have just finished reading True Color by Kory Stamper and In the Woods by Tana French.
