There is something really beautiful and rewarding

There is something really beautiful and rewarding about weaving something wide.
•
I’m working on these beautiful windowpane throws for #battenkillfibers. I love the kettle dyed green in the stripes.
•
I’m playing a little bit more with my stripe sequences to elicit a more delicate design. I am loving how the herringbone is interacting with the stripes.
•
One down, fifteen more to go.

My attempts at prolonging the inevitable. • I am

My attempts at prolonging the inevitable.
•
I am hard on my looms, and when they are used that means they worked hard for somebody else in a past life. Those long hours if wear can catch up!
•
The little balls are what facilitate my harnesses lifting in my AVL. And I have now worn out three of them to the point that without aid they just don’t even catch.
•
Usually I use a little bit of masking tape and all is well (as you can see) But harness number five... ooo the seething rage when that wouldn’t lift.
•
I am attempting to use a little @jbweldofficial “steelstik” (steel reinforced epoxy putty) to enlarge the little ball enough for it to catch.
•
If this works- I will fix the other two now covered in tape. It also makes me think of how mending your things creates such a deeper connection and understanding of what you use everyday.
•
And also that weavers are notorious for loom hacks to make life easy. I’m happy to continue in those footsteps.
•
The industrial revolution gave us replaceable parts so that we could repair what is worn out easily. But how does that effect the value of our work as weavers? Check out the @professionalweaversociety round table to hear some awesome insight into that very question and more!

This Thursday I will be part of a round table disc

This Thursday I will be part of a round table discussion about the value of textiles.
•
Each participant has a unique position and perspective in the field of weaving and textile creation. I am honored to be among them.
•
The event will be held at the link in my bio, but will also be available to stream on YouTube and Facebook Live.
•
Do you have questions for us? Drop a comment here or send me a DM and it might be answered during the discussion!
•
I’m really looking forward to this. I already love my work- but this is a type of education that just feeds the soul for me.
•
Stay tuned and ask questions!

Interleaved threading grip. I saw this on @catscra

Interleaved threading grip. I saw this on @catscradletextiles feed and was amazed by it.
•
I was halfway through threading this double weave sample yardage when I thought to myself “this is the perfect opportunity to try this!” And let me tell you... it has saved me some time.
•
I do not use a heddle hook on the texslov heddles because it just gets tangled. I just use my fingers to put it through. So my sloppy method doesn’t look as pretty as where I learned it from. But it is definitely a sanity saver.
•
I can now thread eight threads each grip of the warp instead of four. And I’m finding it easier to catch mistakes this way as well.
•
Worth a try if you are working on a threading that is an alternating color sequence. Also- this double weave is gonna be siiiiiiick.

Hello Everyone! It is my turn for the @professiona

Hello Everyone! It is my turn for the @professionalweaversociety takeover and my name is Tegan Frisino.
•
A little about myself:
•
I am one of the founders of The Professional Weaver Society and I have my own weaving business, @comfortcloth.
•
I learned to weave while receiving my BFA in Fiber Design with a minor in Sculpture from @artdesignbuffalo (SUNY Buffalo State College). Since 2007, weaving has captured my attention and my creative energy.
•
Almost four years ago I left my full time job to pursue and grow my business. It was a difficult decision, but following my heart has been the best choice yet.
•
I have a sellers perspective on the value of textiles. I want to see what people are gravitating towards and predict the market. I am constantly challenged to find the balance between artistic integrity and effective productivity.
•
I look forward to sharing some behind the scenes of my work and my thoughts on textiles in the craft market place and how to elevate them.
•
Cheers and I look forward to our upcoming discussion with amazing guests @lillymarsh @theburroughsgarret and @eveeerb
