Chocolate
The next few scarves will be woven with a dark chocolate brown weft. The photo doesn’t do the depth of colour justice – take my word for it – it’s a lot darker than this. I worked with indie dyers to get colours specific to my needs. Generally I asked them to make ‘semi-solids’,…

One by One
I have great hopes of this design because it looks quite different depending on the angle at which the cloth is viewed. The warp is 2/16 bamboo (Brassard) and the weft various rayon yarns from my stash. Because yes, I’m still working on using up my stash! The weft is textured – a rough…

Stash Diving
I am over the halfway mark on this warp and the cloth on the beam is getting thicker. When I finish this scarf, I will cut off and remove what is already woven, then lash on and keep going. I figure I should get 7 scarves from this warp. This one is #4. There…

On to the Next
Another blast from the past, in part because I’m using essentially the same combination of yarns in the current warp as was used in this one. The warp is 2/16 bamboo (from Brassard) and the weft will be various rayon yarns I have accumulated over the years. A scarf takes a lot less weft…

Not Set in Stone
Posted the Birthday Bash details yesterday. Today there are just two of the pale green towels shown in the above photo left. Most of the colours have lots, but some are low numbers, in part because I was using up yarn stash and just made as many as I had yarn. This morning as…

Stash Diving
Many of these tubes are now reduced in size, but very few have been emptied. Yet. My goal was to use up the cotton flake, and to that end I have mostly succeeded. The dyed flake is pretty much gone and I’m working my way through the large mill tubes – about 2 pounds…

Rolling Onwards
Today dawned overcast and dreary with a high probability of rain later. Well the rain arrived and I opted to not walk today. I couldn’t face the chilly wet. However, I did manage to press the 8 towels that ran through the washer/dryer yesterday, then got the next warp ready to beam. It’s hard…

Not Bored
As expected, I got four towels each from the peach and the rose. The peach is a lighter value than the rose and the towels look quite different. On the peach towel, where all the colours are approximately the same value, the overall look is more subdued with slight differences in hue giving the…

Another Milestone
my double entry ledger, deposit book and chequebook from a couple of years ago. No more bookkeeping. I don’t miss doing my accounts! I truly don’t miss it at all. It was always a pain in the patootie, but necessary to make sure all the bills got paid, all the taxes due were paid. …
