I know, I know. I’ve been away from the computer FOREVER. I’ve got all sorts of good reasons<\/del> excuses. The grass needs regular mowing; I had a dump truck full of mulch delivered that has to be moved & spread, after the garden’s been weeded, of course; I did the 100 American Craftsmen<\/a> show at the Kenan Center; and it’s the busiest time of the year at my paycheck job at Pfeiffer Nature Center<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m committed to catching you up, a post a day, or at least every other day, on my weaving. I’m going to do it in chronological order.<\/p>\n

I really like to demonstrate weaving at shows whenever possible, using my little Leclerc rigid heddle loom. This becomes a bit tricky for me, since I use mostly fine threads that need to be sett closer than 12 ends per inch, my finest heddle. <\/p>\n

So for the Kenan show I chose to warp the loom with a nice variegated cotton & linen blend yarn. For the weft I used an undyed Egyptian cotton, woven in a Brooks Bouquet pattern.
\n\"handwoven<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, live and learn. I’ve done Brooks bouquet before, but always with the same weft as warp. With a different weft, the overall pattern gets very boxy looking – not my favorite visual. On the plus side, for a medium gauge cotton scarf, this one is very soft and drapes well. So I’m sure someone will like it.<\/p>\n

I’ve got another show coming up next weekend. I’ve been debating about what I’ll warp the loom with, but haven’t made a firm decision yet. I’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
