Change One Thing
Change one thing and everything can change. Such a simple sentence. Such a complex concept. This is one of the principles that are explored in the Olds Master Weaving (level one) class. I say this over and over. Usually after saying “It depends.” The best short answer to almost every question in weaving is “It…

All Mixed Up
Notice anything ‘wrong’ with this warp? No? This is the first prototype warp for a new scarf line. The past few years I worked a lot with dyed warps but recently acquired a bunch of commercially dyed solid yarns. I had to think for a while about what to do with them and this warp…

Never ending
Just cut a blue/black chenille warp off the loom with two more scarves woven. Unfortunately weaving chenille scarves is beginning to feel like a never ending story. The next warp – black and grey – is ready to be rough sleyed, six more warps are wound, ready to go, the next colour is at the…

End of the Line
See that rats nest of yarn in the foreground? I reached the end of my patience fighting with the rayon chenille yarn at the selvedge and as soon as I finished one scarf, cut the rest of the warp off. Life is too short to be fighting with yarn. It’s not a great loss…less…

Fuzzy
I have been very low on rayon chenille scarves for the past couple of years and this year after all was said and done, there were just three scarves left. I could have sold a lot more if I’d had more, and since I still have significant inventory of rayon chenille, I’m revisiting them. Actually…
