  This will be the next warp in the current series.  It has undergone multiple changes but it is time now to say ok, this is it.  So I will wind two spools of the variegated and then when the current warp comes off, likely Tuesday, this one will go on.  I don’t think there…

  One of the challenges I have set myself is to work exclusively from my stash.  Which isn’t a particular hardship – I have loads of yarn to choose from!  But it makes me stretch further in my colour choices than I would if I were still buying yarn.  Because at this point, I have…

  Bored with weaving the same thing over and over?  Change the colour of the weft. There is more than likely enough weft in the dark hunter green to weave one more towel, but that would make an uneven number of towels.  That wouldn’t be a deal breaker except then I would have an odd…

  As part of the stash busting focus, there are times when a certain yarn in a certain colour begins to run low.  For this warp, the colours are a turqouse green, a paler green and two ends of a variegated cotton with the two colours of the warp plus shifting into a darker blue…

  I bought a whole bunch of these plastic bins about 20 years ago.  They were initially purchased to help organize and sort the pages for Magic in the Water.  Since then they have proved to be very helpful in various ways.  Since they are clear, I can see what is in them, unlike cardboard…
