Slanted view of a large wooden floor loom with a grape jelly purple fabric being woven on it. The pattern looks very complex, a wavy X-styled pattern with moire effects. In the background is a tuxedo kitty with white paws and a white goatee chin on a chair.

Pablo quality checking an #8Shaft advancing twill fabric woven with hand dyed yarns 🌀🩷 #Caturday #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving 🧶 #slowfashion #weavesky #bskyweavers #AdvancingTwill #WeavingPatterns #multishadtLoon
A shawl width fabric rolling off a large floor loom onto a beige carpet. The fabric has a fuchsia and turquoise stripey effect created by hand dyed yarn combined with a complex zigzag twill pattern that trends vertically (long direction of fabric) and has a stair step angle to it of little triangles. On top sits a long haired tuxedo cat with a symmetrical white chest, white chin and whiskers. He looks pensive.

One of my handwoven tops. An #8Shaft snowflake twill fabric in a rose pattern I designed with handspun cotton weft and tablet woven trim 🌈 #FiberArt #TextileArt #art #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving 🧶 #slowfashion #weavesky #bskyweavers #WeavingPatterns
Upper back perspective of neckline decoration on a lavender/dark plum twill top with a wavy rainbow trim band. The fabric is woven with very fine threads contrasting lavender and dark plum to create a complex twill with ovalish “rose” patterns. The tablet band has the same dark plum along the edges. A yellow-orange-red-turquoise-green wavy rainbow with lavender flecks and wavy stripes overlaps in a V at the middle of the back neckline. Above the overlap is a sewn on ivory cut money cowrie. The neck of a person is visible above. Lavender text on a black background above and below: Lisa Rayner Handwovens / Weaving Patterns • Etsy

Pablo in front of my old 8 shaft floor loom with the shawl in the process of being #woven.

#TeaTowel #9. #Strickland #222. Black almost always makes colors pop. Very simple treadling pattern, so it should go fairly quickly. Plus a three-day weekend. If gardening doesn't win. #Weaving #handwoven #fiberart #textile #floor loom #8shaft
Floor loom with a striped warp brown, yellow, rose, purple, sand, center lavender and then mirror. Black weft, undulating twill. Boat shuttle with bobbin of black weft behind the woven web.

When I'm not screaming into the void, I weave. I finally finished a languishing project to add panels to a tablecloth.
What are you doing? How are you managing? #8shaft #schachtspindle #mightywolf

I'm going to be generous and estimate that it took me an hour to get the loom set up for threading and figure out how to thread the first eight shafts. Only 492 left to go! 😂 #weaving #8shaft #doublewidth #Schachtmightywolf

This is a feed of multi-shaft weaving! It should pick up posts with #4shaft, #8shaft, and #16shaft.

The current plan is yardage for a cross-back apron with lotsa pockets and maybe a matching headband. Scrunchie? Both?
The warp will alternate 60 ends of 8/2 and 120 ends doubled of 16/2. Straight-draw twill 8shaft sampler.
