Shipping Woes
So. Canada Post radically changed their shipping categories in February and I have had to make some decisions about doing mail order. If you biggify the above photo you may be able to see that an item that I have been selling for $20 just cost me $23.94 postage to ship. This amount does not…

Another Mini-Milestone (or two)
This morning I went up to the annex and did some more pressing. The colours of the Fox Fibre yarns are actually a little more intense than shown here – guess the flash wiped some of the intensity out. From the left – 50% green, 25% green, 50% brown, 25% brown, then regular 2/16 unmerc.…

Towelling Up
2/16 cotton warp with fine linen weft 2/8 cotton warp (warp twist) with rayon/linen boucle’ weft 2/8 warp twist cotton warp with fine cotton slub weft Finishing what I’ve woven always seems to take longer than the weaving, partly because I tend to do the tasks involved in batches.

Productivity
orange all used up – changed to cream – the beauty of a neutral warp! After a weaving demo at a workshop, a new weaver came up to thank me for the demonstration. Essentially she said that she’d resigned herself to the fact weaving was going to be slow forever, and after watching me weave…

Good Enough to Eat!
Here are the yarns for the pastel colour gamp kit. Delicious! I’m not entirely happy with the pale green (third from the left) – dye lot difference means it is a tiny bit more intense than the sample card. But it’s about the same value as the salmon (third from the right) so it should…

Tiny Steps of Progress
I’m not sure why I’ve been struggling the past few months, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I’m extremely deadline oriented. :} Since I have plenty of inventory, the incentive to drive myself to the loom to make more seems – well, a little excessive?
