Scarf 57
Getting to this point of completion for A Good Yarn: Linen and Hemp meant that progress on the painted warps stalled. While I did manage to weave at least a little bit each day, I didn’t have much energy left over, especially after the marathon assembly/shipping days. Then I was busy all day Saturday with…

Flexible
scarf 41 Yesterday I talked about having to be flexible and go with my #2 choice of yarns. Last night I rummaged through the dwindling supply (yay!) of 2/10 Tencel, some of it custom dyed, to select the weft for warp #11. This morning I started winding it onto bobbins directly from the skein and…

Things Change
scarf #40 – 10 warps now complete… I know that things change. Mostly I embrace change because it usually means I’m doing something new and interesting. OTOH, sometimes things change way too fast! Yesterday I moaned that I was running low on weft inventory and I needed to place an order with Silk City for…
