The Not So Never-ending Stash
I knew I was beginning to run out of colours of the Bambu 12, but I had not realized just how low my inventory had gotten until I got to this warp (#10). Fortunately I had more of the custom dyed 2/10 Tencel in the semi-solids, one of which was a very dark green with…

Tangled Skein
I love when things are going smoothly and all that is required is surface attention. I can either go into my ‘zone’ and use weaving as a working meditation, or I can use the time to think about writing projects. And so it was this morning that I figured I could use the time spent…

Letting Go of Perfection
scarf 33 scarf 34 When I sampled for this production run of scarves I used several different wefts and weave structures, then chose the combination that I felt was the most successful. The most ‘perfect’ if you will. Unfortunately the Bambu 12 doesn’t come in the variety of dark value colours that I would like…

A Change of Pace
Got the fourth scarf warp into the loom and wove the first scarf this morning. Changed to blue/green, partly for a change of pace, partly because I may need to order more weft yarns in so thought I’d better work on some different colours. I tend to work in ‘batches’ because using hand dyed cellulose…

Yum
Scarf 9 (beginning of warp #3) showing some of the colours in the warp – again much nicer in person ‘padding’ the cloth beam Finished the second warp this morning and got the next one on the loom this afternoon. Since the yarn is rayon, and rayon can be fairly slippery, I’m lashing on rather…
