Neutral Colour Gamp
For the past few weeks I’ve been high into procrastination mode. Today I finally figured out why – I’m waiting on word about a significant project and have been on tenterhooks wondering if it is going to go ahead with the co-operation of another person, or…..not. I am terribly deadline driven, and with this project…

Silk Yarn
50 skeins of silk dyed today The dyeing went quite well. I got four dyepots done (two colours per skein) and some of the colours are unusual but attractive, I think. The red/green at the bottom will look terrific with a dark teal weft – it will be hard to put these skeins up for…

Too Much Quiet
The house seemed awfully empty and terribly quiet once our ‘playmates’ had left and I just didn’t feel up to fighting with the fly shuttle box on the AVL. So, consulting the handy job list, I was reminded that I needed to weave some samples of the yarn I will be offering for sale (some…

Seeing Red – Again
I seem to be having a red-fest. 🙂 In the past week I’ve woven a couple of red shawl warps on the AVL, a red shawl on the Fanny, a red chenille scarf warp today and am just now dressing the Fanny again with a black and red warp. 😉 Red – the colour of…

Ukrainian Skirts
The skirts are more orange in real life, but this gives an impression of what the cloth looks like. The skirts are ‘railroaded’ – in other words the warp will be horizontal and the selvedges can be used for waist and hem. The fabric is a 3:1 twill – i.e. the face of the fabric…

Ukrainian Skirts and Seconds
Ta-Daa! Here is the fabric for the skirts beamed. I’ve just started transferring the bouts to the long stick that I use to carry all the bouts together to just behind the heddles for threading. This warp is relatively narrow at 32″ in the reed, so it has been off set to the right by…

Forging Ahead
While I haven’t made it to the press as often as I’d hoped, today saw another 20 towels wet finished and 4 finished towels given their final press – ready to be tagged and sold. This one is probably my current fav. The colours are brighter than all those pale pastel blues I wove so…
