Out with the old, in with the new. The knots rose over the horizon, signaling that it would soon be time to cut off.
Five yards of jin (AKA turned taqueté) cut off and washed.
Then there was this (Hallelujah!).
in between moments of watching the screen, transfixed, I did wind a new warp. Shades of blue.
And tied it onto the old warp, straight threading on 16 shafts.
Did some playing with drafts. How about imagining a pointed threading on 9 shafts, and then weaving some of the samples on the straight 16-shaft threading? Think about it.
Wove all ten of these samples. When the parade was over, I cut the samples from the loom and washed them.
After washing & ironing, some were awful, some pretty good, and this one was a definite keeper.
So I'll be weaving off the rest of the warp in that draft, with a lavender weft. Warp and weft are 10/2 cotton, 24 epi and ppi. Click to enlarge.
I slept very well last night.
Did you?
