A Good Yarn / Re: Ploshkin - Weaving Along
« Last post by Ploshkin on Today at 10:16:53 »
Sis has chosen a different weave pattern for each chair, all of which have the sand warp and grey weft.
In between lambs I have been winding the warp and preparing it to thread the loom.
The total warp is 330 threads (ends) each 5 yards long.  Astonishingly, that makes the total warp I have wound just 110 yards short of a mile!
I have done the warp in 3 sections with 110 ends in each third.
Here is one section on the warping board.  At the top each thread crosses the previous one so that they all stay in order and don't get tangled when putting the warp on the loom.

The three sections are off the warping board and tied in several places to keep everything in order.  Strips of t shirt fabric make brilliant stretchy ties

Yes, clearly I was confused by 2 nice days. We've had hailstones here!

I enjoyed looking at the quilts very much, thank you @Sara-S

Some have a great level of detail and technical accuracy, which wows me, but others are much simpler and more things I feel I could do myself. I love that your group showed them all

When I drove to work this morning it was 4.5C and there was snow on the Pennines.  I was wearing my wool blend trousers. :)
