I've put a 9 yard warp on the #Beka to weave a flock of Strickler #728 dish towels. This first pair of towels have a white weft; each towel onward will have a different weft color. #handwoven #weaving #Brassard

#BlueSkyArtShow #Golden I stumbled upon this couple just as the gentleman knelt down to propose at Graue Mill, Oakbrook, IL. I didn't want to interfere with his hired photographer, so I stayed where I was, behind tall grass and goldenrod.

Hand carding a Coopworth fleece bought from Hidden Valley Farm in WI. Making rolags for #handspinning is slow, satisfying work on this rainy day.

Time for a short spinning session with some Bluefaced Leicester. I'm beginning to get the hang of this spinning wheel. #tourdefleece #handspinning

Of the loom and ready to gently wash. I'm very pleased with the way the color changes turned out. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Hobbii

I only have about 20" more to weave on this woolen shawl. I'll be sad when it's finished — the subtle color changes have been mesmerizing and a joy to watch. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Hobbii

I recently started #weaving Marian Stubenitsky's Unique Double Weave pattern from her book Max 8. What a joy! Dinosaur pincushion for scale. #Venne #handwoven #Beka weefschool.nl/en/books/wea...

I had 70 threads to go - I finally finished threading all the heddles today. I'll begin to tackle the reed tomorrow. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Venne

20/2 cotton warp is wound on and I've begun threading. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Venne

Time for some loom maintenance on #Beka. I don't know if the worn out padding (top) was ever replaced. I cut up a furniture slider and am trying 2 combinations (bottom). I'll see how this works before gluing it in. #weaving #handwoven

Necessity is the mother of invention. A plastic mini basket and a spatula keep my 2 cones from having a tangled meet 'n' greet while warping 2 at a time. One of these days I'll make myself an 8-peg cone holder. #weaving #handwoven #Venne
