Seeking Substitutions
Photo of four different yarns, all approximately the same thickness and yards per pound. Sort of. Further to the earlier blog post, I wondered if I could show how difficult it can be to make substitutions or not.

Contingency Plans
Warp at about the half way mark – it’s slow going with needing a temple and trying to catch the weft loops that bubble up in the shed. However, I am at the half way mark! I’m doing four different weft colours and weaving them in rotation so that I have an equal number of…
