The first wrap has that white weft, the other 2 will have charcoal wefts.  <\/p>\n<p>I looked at the dates involved and breathed a sigh of relief.  I had promised the moms that I&#8217;d have the wraps woven within 3 weeks of receiving the yarn.  The box of yarn arrived on June 27, so I&#8217;ve got until July 18 to do the weaving, hemming, and wet finishing.  No sweat.<\/p>\n<p>So back to this weekend&#8230;the weather forecast in Chautauqua is for rain &#8211; most of the day Friday and all day Saturday.  It looks like it might clear on Sunday, so I&#8217;m crossing my fingers that I&#8217;ll be packing up dry.  However if it does, in fact, rain for 2 days, I likely won&#8217;t be able to do everything I&#8217;d planned.  Although I have awnings for my tent, depending on the wind strength and direction, I may have to have the sides of the tent down, which dramatically limits the space available.  <\/p>\n<p>But I couldn&#8217;t know that as I was preparing, so I have the rigid heddle loom and a tapestry loom ready to go.  Actually, the tapestry loom has a story behind it.  I intended to use the little picture frame loom I bought from my weaving teacher.  But when I pulled it down, I realized it was too small for 3 days of weaving at this show, where people can hang around for some time, as opposed to street shows where people move rather quickly.<\/p>\n<p>So I lucked out when I saw this frame for a laundry bag by the curb several blocks away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/laundry-holder.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/laundry-holder.jpg\" alt=\"laundry bag holder\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/laundry-holder.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/laundry-holder-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/laundry-holder-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I snatched it up, took it apart into 2 big rectangles, consulted with the weaving teacher about the ends per inch I should use, and warped it up with carpet warp.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/warped-for-tapestry.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/warped-for-tapestry.jpg\" alt=\"loom warped for tapestry\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/warped-for-tapestry.jpg 338w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/warped-for-tapestry-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/warped-for-tapestry-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I do hope we get to use it this weekend.
