I’m leaving in just a few hours for my first ever MAFA<\/a> conference. I registered back in November, over 7 months ago, so I guess you could say I’m eager. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m in Robyn Spady<\/a>‘s Extreme Warp Makeover class, learning how to make 30 different fabrics from one tie up. Wow!<\/p>\n

Neither of my floor loom is very portable, neither would fit in my little Yaris, and my rigid heddle wouldn’t do because I needed a minimum of 4 harnesses for the workshop, so I borrowed a 4H Mountain loom from one of my friends. We had 3 choices of threadings – overshot, rosepath, or huck. I specifically chose overshot since I’d never done that threading before. <\/p>\n

I warped up the loom, learning – again – that every loom is different, and they all take their own unique movements and ‘tricks’ when warping and threading heddles. As always, I like my own looms best – I know exactly what I need to do with them to make my life easier.<\/p>\n

Here’s the loom, along with the shuttles and fibers I’ll be bringing with me.

I am curious as to how it can possibly take 2-1\/2 days to weave 3 yards of warp, which is all we needed to put on. I wound on about 4.5 yards, but still….<\/p>\n

I still have to gather everything else I need, from clothing to pillows and towels, so I must go do that. RIGHT NOW!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
