Today I set myself the goal of starting to write some long delayed blog posts for Craftsy. Not sure they will accept them because I didn’t get permission for the topic(s) beforehand, they are just things I think need to be said.
So the first one is on weft packages.
New weavers don’t always get shown how to wind a paper quill. Quills can be handy if you are weaving with lots of different colours and you don’t have enough plastic bobbins. Or maybe you just don’t like plastic bobbins. They do make a bit of a chattering sound as the yarn reels off of them and some people just don’t like the noise.
I think I’ve got a clip on You Tube showing how I wind them, but I don’t think Craftsy is going to allow a link to my You Tube channel so I won’t include that in the post. Not sure if Janet Dawson covers this in her class on Craftsy, but I’m sure she shows how to wind a bobbin.
Unfortunately my left hand tires very quickly and after writing up the post for Craftsy and this, I think I need to rest my hand for a while.
Read or work on puzzle? Decisions, decisions…
