Collapse Scarves
First two collapse scarves Well, I’m not satisfied with the white one, but the black one turned out exactly as I hoped. The white one was woven with a 12/2 mercerized cotton and has a much stiffer hand than the black one which was woven with Bambu 12. So, I’ll try a 20/2 mercerized cotton…

Let Me Call You Sweetheart
Some of you may remember last January that just as I was weaving up most of my fine yarns I wound up buying a bunch more 20/2 cotton. Well, what could I do? It was on sale after all! Well, I finally got some of that red 20/2 cotton beamed yesterday. I’ve got a couple…

Bobbin Lace Show and Share
Friday I’m doing a lace show and share again but of course I had something started on one of my pillows so before I can prepare the pillow, I have to finish my little bookmark. 🙂 I’m using thrums left over from a warp I did months ago with some of the 2/20 mercerized cotton.…

Waffles
A couple of days ago I mentioned in a comment (I think) that I had woven a waffle weave towel with purposefully ruffled hems. The puckering doesn’t show up very well in this photo – if you look closely at the bands in between the waffle areas, you might just be able to see ‘lines’.…

Spring Colours
My preference for a colour palette is generally the rich vibrant reds/purples/blues commonly referred to as ‘jewel’ tones. Either that or tone on tone, generally variations of natural/bleached whites. That said, every once in a while I find myself working with paler colours with yellow undertones. This warp didn’t start out with the intention of…

Last of the Fine Stuff?
It took longer than I would like to get this warp beamed because I kept running out of yarn on the spools and having to stop and wind more. But this warp pretty much took care of the rest of the 2/40’s mercerized cotton. I still have some fine yarn, but it’s 3/40’s and much…

Threading For Blue Warp
Not exactly a snowflake, but this threading fits precisely into the number of threads I wound so how could I not use it? This is how it looks woven as drawn in. No doubt I’ll play with the treadling, although I think I’ll use this one with the singles linen. It should be very pretty.…

Weaving for therapy
After years of weaving for income, for intellectual stimulation and physical activity, weaving has now become part of my therapy. Exercise is a very important part of my life – always has been – but now I also need to exercise in order to keep my heart as healthy as can be. All the recommendations…
