Threadbare Designs - a Weaver's Journey. Online Product Registration Form. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Yes, I know - a bad pun, but how could I not? Bring the hook back up through the next dent, catch the next set of ends, and repeat. When the loops of all the ends in your hand have been brought through their respective dents, pull the hook and bring the rest of the ends all the way through. All 748 ends were done in about an hour or so. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Saturday, December 20, 2014. The buyer ...

Looking towards our garage and driveway, after plowing and. You can see the sizeable pile against the house. Some areas were waist-deep prior to the clean up. And here is the other side of our house, the side that was more exposed to the winds. Of course, the piled up snow near the street is another issue all together!

Tangled Web: October 2015

Friday, October 16, 2015. Swarthmore Check is a canvas weave structure and which has doubled threads in both the warp and the weft. Because there are doubled weft threads, it also requires a floating selvedge to catch the double wefts. I wove this in a number of different patterns, some with just a couple of wide weft stripes and some with weft stripes throughout, looking a little plaid like. Because there are a number of weft floats, these make thirsty towels. Date Finished April 2015. Reed 10, 20 epi.

Threadbare Designs - a Weaver's Journey. Online Product Registration Form. Sunday, April 19, 2015. I'm almost afraid to say it out loud, lest Mother Nature hears me and decides that one last storm is due. Do you remember this photo? And this one, showing the actual pile from the outside. I can happily say that after a week and a half of temps above normal, meaning the 50's and 60's, plus several more in the 40's, this is what is left of the pile;. How lucky am I? I'm also having a bit of an adventure in ...

The warp went on with tangles, despite being wound under even tension on my mill (I really must. Find out what I'm doing wrong there!

Monday, January 18, 2016. Lisa is a great instructor and she sent us warps and we had to put these on the loom prior to arriving in Gatlinburg. This was a it of a problem, since we were living in MT and the loom that needed to be warped was in NC. The warps and wefts were a mix of tencel and alpaca/silk blend. DDW allows you to weave some big designs, including circles. The differential shrinkage between the yarns also leads to interesting movement in the cloth. Structure Deflected Double Weave. MMs and ...
