Change One Thing
beaming the warp for the next project still some ‘goat’ trails With my retirement from production weaving and selling my work, the move out of the annex, the disbursement of production equipment, there have been many, many changes in my life and my work space. With the acquisition of someone’s silk yarn ‘estate’, space had…

Green
While I have been on a stash reduction target for far too long (people keep dying and I keep getting their yarn to add to mine) there are always interesting lessons to be learned from digging deep into the stash. Now the two yarns in the photo were acquisitions by moi, but one (the darker)…
