#WIP, #handweaving.
Card weaving on an inkle loom.
My friend was visiting and threaded the loom. 6 cm woven.
If any more visitors drop by, there won't be enough days for all the hobbies!
36 purple and white cotton woven on an inkle loom, using cards to create the design of some new shoe laces. Just what I need a new hobby.

A library of 63 samples in three cozy shawls. #weaving #handweaving 🧶
Shawl 1. Warp is three orangey peachy coppery colors of 18/2 wool silk (Zephyr, RIP) with a weft of 10/2 Tencel dyed by Teresa Ruch Designs. The shawl has crossways stripes of wildly varying 16 shaft designs plus a tubular doubleweave selvedge. A second shawl on the black fabric mannequin, with a different set of pattern stripes. This one has handspun variegated wool (blue faced Leicester) in black, blue, olive, and yellow ochre. Shawl 3 with still more patterns. Also the BFL handspun. All three shawls in a heap on a table.

After 554 days, I'm throwing a shuttle again. 🌞 About 16 yards of half-double using a design from 1709. Full deets in the caption. #historicdraft #handweaving #weaving #artistlife #craftsky
The draft is from a 24-shaft tie-up published in *Der Weber Kunst und Bild Buch* (1709) by Nathaniel Lumscher, a Dutch or German master linen weaver, reduced down to 23 shafts and converted to half-double, a 3-end unit tied weave. Warp: 10/2 cotton, Bleach. Wefts: 5/2 cotton, Lipstick (pattern); 10/2 cotton, Natural (ground). 27 shafts (23 pattern + 2 ground + 2 selvedge). Woven on an AVL A Series computerized dobby loom.

The last 6 months: Closing the "Sales" portion of the studio; a lot of gardening/landscaping; knee replacement surgery; a pinched nerve in my back interfering with #handweaving & #handspinning; and adjusting to the next phase of my #artistlife. IOW, a mixed bag. As usual. 🤷‍♀️

Happy to have a day off for some weekday #weaving. Out of that handspun weft so using some Tencel from the stash for the next batch of sampling. #handweaving 🧶
Looking down onto a loom. At the bottom is a couple of visible strips of different sample patterns, then an area of hems with the same weft as the warp. The most recently woven part, closest to the visible beater and shafts, uses a dark red-orange-brownish shiny tencel weft. An end feed shuttle with this weft is resting on top of the cloth.

Close up of handweaving on the loom. The raised floats increase and decrease in a way that makes the look almost circular. photo of weaving after washing to show the depth of the cells which are small and somewhat shallow. Front and back of the piece after washing. The red floats are not so long, but still show definition on the front. On the back they can be seen as little red dots in the corners of each cell. On the front, the brown center line is visible and draws the eye into the center of each cell making them appear deeper. On the back, the brown runs down the ridge of each stripe.

Winding pirns from the second cone / second 4oz braid of the BFL handspun. #weaving #handweaving 🧶
Four weaving pirns wound with a blck, teal, olive, and ochre variegated yarn The yarn is singles handsun Blue Faced Leicester (BFL). The pirns are wound off all at once and then woven from last to first so the colors will smoothly continue from one pirn to the next during weaving. The pirns are resting on a printout with the first 24 of the intended 63 patterns being trialed

Almost done with the cone-clearing stash-busting Rug of Miscellaneous Handspun. I needed to free up cones for sectionally winding the next warp, so out came the peg loom. #weaving #handweaving 🧶
A peg loom with a row of dowels upright in a long heavy board, with a brown wool rug in the background. The peg loom warp dowels are about half full with dark brown wool

The sun has come around enough to be vexing and I just finished a pirn and I am getting snacky so I am going to call it a day, as far as the loom is concerned. #weaving #handweaving 🧶
A weaving shuttle with a full pirn of variegated yarn rests on the woven web on a loom The fabric-in-progress has a peachy-copper colored warp in wool/silk and the vriegated weft is black, teal, olive, and ochre BFL handspun singles. The last two draft samples on the first sample-shawl, with an inch or so of tubular doubleweave as hem The variegation in color isn’t something i would choose for a real project but it does give some extra insight into the color aspects of these patterns. I would also maybe choose to spin more evenly but I mostly spin for entertainment so alas…

Got in a little #weaving time today, so weaving season is officially open (in my house). #handweaving 🧶
A loom with a coppery peach warp of wool/silk. The first few patterns are woven: a tubular double weave hem, then three twill patterns woven for about 3 inches each. The weft is variegated black, blue, green, and ochre handspun BFL wool. An earlier view with a closeup of the variegated weft on the shuttle. The next four patterns. The back of the loom. Orderly warps are nice to look at.

We lost a giant of handweaving this week. None of the fancy echo weave stuff I've done would have been possible without stumbling on the eye-catching cover of Weaving with Echo and Iris by pure chance: Marian Stubenitsky will be missed.

Warp is fully laced on, only needs a little tension-leveling before weaving. Dobby maintenance is done. Now it is too hot up here so I am headed outside. #handweaving #weaving 🧶
A view from a ladder while lubricating the dobby. The loom is more of less ready to weave now. The top of the image is a gray stool with a shuttle on it. Then the warp is lashed onto the apron stick with fat linen yarn. The beater just looks like a hefty slab of timber, and then the front shafts are visible at the bottom along with the side of case for the electronic dobby mechanism.

Back at the loom, threading and now sleying, for a fine Saturday (and I spose #Caturday) morning with supervision from Pips #handweaving #weaving 🧶
Sleying the reed two per dent for 24 ends per inch. The image shows various peach and copper weft yarn bundles and many vertical white strings of Texsolv heddles. About four inches of the warp - on the right hand side, is sleyed through the reed which is suspended horizontally. The next bundle is ready to go, and the red sley hook is poking up through the reed. Pips the tabby cat is surveilling the neighborhood from the windowsill beside the loom. The loom reed is visible in the foreground, and the window is framed with linen curtains. Pips has turned back to her surveillance and is loafing in the windowsill with her stripy tail dangling into the room.

I think we're probably close enough to the green strike price that the apocalypse we will actually see is truckers converting their trucks to EVs themselves. A trucker's wife handweaving an in-hub motor out of enameled copper from the Home Depot. A very sketchy battery pack of many Tesla packs

Tie-up 4. I’m quite liking this rounded thing going on here. I hope that gets accentuated after washing.

First warp for the winter weaving season is going onto the big loom (despite it being very warm and sunny and enticing outside). #handweaving #weaving 🧶
A close look at various coppery peachy shades of a wool silk yarn running through a tension box. The tension box is mounted on the back beam of a large loom. The yarns for the warp are coming from cones on a wall-mounted (and very DIY) creel on the wall behind the front of the loom. The threads come through from the creel on thread guides on a suspended stick and freely over another dowel to keep them all clear of the loom shafts. A wider view showing some of the bouts already beamed and secured with tape.
