I began a new project:
Plain weave
Warp is 70% alpaca/ 30% silk – gradient “sangria”
Weft is handspun corriedale cross top – rose
Hoping to get two scarves.
Update on weaving
I am back to weaving the Wall of Troy scarf. I am hoping to get it done before the new year but we’ll see! I do love my Tools loom. I’m hoping I weave and spin a lot in 2018!
Update: I got the scarf off the loom on Feb. 11, 2018. Am currently twisting fringe!
Selling my Norwood loom – Sold!
It is 45 inches wide, 4 shafts, 6 treadles, sectional beam. I have had it since 2010, just haven’t done that many projects on it, and now live in a smaller home. Please share!
Sells with: bench, 4 reeds, lease sticks, several ski shuttles.
Asking price: 800.00 – negotiable.

Weaving – Wall of Troy
Spinning on the Ashford
Spinning on the Hitchhiker
Always productive on a day off! I sorted out my spinning on my two wheels. Both are doing well – now. I had to oil them and tweak them but all is fine now.
Weaving the tencel is going well – Wall of Troy pattern. If you look at it too long, you can imagine all sorts of errors. I don’t think there are any and if there are, they are part of the pattern now!
A decade of weaving
I had my first weaving lesson on February 6, 2007.
First project
I then began to weave fast and furiously. Scarves, placemats. bathmats, blankets, napkins, towels, more.
I was organizing all my work sheets. Between 2013 and 2016, I do not have much to show but I feel that is changing. I am about to take two scarves off of the loom and put on another. I am spinning away on my Hitchhiker, some unknown fiber
If anything, my resolution for this year to get back into record keeping. It was fun to look at all my worksheets from the past. Who knows, I may go back and do a pattern again.
The scarf that is going on to the loom is using the black and gold tencel in a Wall of Troy pattern. More on that later.
10 years is a long time – I’m so glad I did find weaving in 2007!
