03.02.2022 It’s a start. Very slow weaving but enjoying seeing it grow.

14.01.2022 The loom is finally dressed. Struggling with covid symptoms and still waiting for my test results (day 4 now) I have been taking small snippets of time and slowly getting this warp on the loom. The first time I’ve worked on a floor loom and I can tell you how not to do it. If you use chairs as your warp board be ready for yarn at different lengths. There is a reason why you need to tie to the back beam before you start threading heddles. And keep that cross! In the end I th...readed every one of these yarns individually. Pulled each one out of the tangled mess and put in on the loom. You can see the tangle mess left over, but I have plans to use it all as warp. Making mistakes and figuring it out is sometimes the biggest teacher. However we are finally ready to very slowly weave something lovely. #cottonwarp #tartan #weavingtartan #warp #handweaving #makingmistakes #imperfectlyperfect #handmadewithlove #pigletandsquid See more

12.01.2022 And it begins. 580 threads. Find the next in order. Make sure you have the correct shaft. Thread the heddle. ....and repeat while listening to an Agatha Christie audiobook. A different kind of meditation. #threadingheddles #dressingtheloom #warp #weaving #audiblebooks #agathachristie #handmadewithlove #pigletandsquid
