Not the best video- but it’s just a small part of the whole process.
•
Threading is laying down the frame work for what you are about to create. Proper threading is like laying a good foundation. It supports what you are about to create- either with purpose or through experimentation.
•
I am currently threading 10/2 cotton at 30 ends per inch. This much faster version of my threading process shows only 20 threads out of 240 (which is about 8”) I hardly ever weave this narrow- most of my samples being between 10-12 inches.
•
What am I sampling? Well- a few days ago I made a post about weaving two shuttle weaves. I have discovered Summer and Winter as a means to create some imagery. I am not a particularly pictorial person- but there are some designs that call for it.
•
I am excited to show you what I’m working on as soon as I know what it is actually going to take to make my vision come to life.
•
I am thankful for this time to sample and create. And the space to explore all of my options.

No new episode this week, there just wasn’t time. But stick with us because next week we will have @greentreeweaving on the pod. Margaret shares a ton of awesome business advice, talks about how she has pivoted her business over the years, and more!

Sometimes when a problem arises you have to be ready to make creative decisions.
•
Other times you need an outside perspective to help solve a problem.
•
I have a finite amount of 24 harness dobby bars. I have a million bars for the 16 harness loom. So- I have been creatively using the 16 harness bars mixed in with the others to make longer chains.
•
Unfortunately I think the stress of all the weight on that one point has torn two of the plastic strips within 20 minutes of weaving (which also includes unjamming the dobby bars).
•
@ericfrisino is all his calm level headed glory encouraged me to use packing tape to support the plastic strip. Hopefully it will get me through the rest of this warp.
•
Just remember- sometimes equipment fails- but you can always find creative solutions to keep going.

Sometimes you film yourself weaving and a harness

Sometimes you film yourself weaving and a harness decides to become unhooked.
•
What I wanted to actually talk about was weaving with two shuttles.
•
Life is finding its rhythm again, and through that I am discovering how much I really enjoy two shuttle weaves. I like the pace, the depth of texture, the way the pattern grows and holds its shape.
•
I’m currently weaving some summer and winter samples, focusing on the texture of the yarn instead of color. It is an amazing study on how the differences in the yarn’s physicality changes the dynamic of the cloth created.
•
Have you created two shuttle weaves? Which are you favorites? What was the most challenging part for you?

Just popping on to say there’s no new pro weaver

Just popping on to say there’s no new pro weaver pod episode this week. We lost someone very close to us on Wednesday. We are hoping to be back next week.

Most of my work is really bright. Sometimes to the

Most of my work is really bright. Sometimes to the point where nobody likes the color but me (looking at some orange sorbet linen that I just LOVE).
•
This time though I’m going subtle. Working with textures to invite a viewer in. These are some material samples that will hopefully lead to some beautiful final products.
•
Most of them are 100% cotton (one is a cotton and linen plied together). Machine washable and oh so soft.
•
Samples are an important part of the learning and growing process. It is also making me really appreciate the absence of color. Giving me a little room to breathe and think.
•
Have you ever just put on a warp to try different weft materials? Was it fun and rewarding or did you get frustrated? How do you label your samples?
•
Looking forward to the next round of material samples with a slightly heavier warp. It should yield some nifty results.
