My loom is up and running! Having a lot of fun with it learning the different weave structures and how the wool behaves in different patterns. The possibilities are infinite.
Daughter 1 took some lovely artistic shots of my very first sampler:
Learning all about ‘twill’ and ‘point threading’ and ‘tabby’. A whole new language .
Since weaving this I have woven another 4 samplers and at the moment daughter 4 has a sampler going too. It takes longer to ‘warp’ the loom ( i.e. thread the loom for weaving) than it does to weave!
If you are interested the sample above is 100% NZ wool. I have been weaving with wool as it is apparently the most ‘forgiving’ for beginners. : )
Also happening since I last posted – two concerts and NCEA level 2 exams. And print class. And made the Christmas cake…
Only 1 month till Christmas.
