Here’s the first warp on my new table loom. Mug rugs, for my guild’s upcoming Christmas in July Pop Up Sale.

100% cotton, variety of straight draft patterns on 8 shafts.

The new loom is mostly put together. Just need to adjust the height of the shafts, and tie the warping sticks to the front and back beams.

Oh and I only hurt myself once. The castle fell on my thumb before I could secure it.

But I love her so much! Need to still name her though.

Wish me luck!

My new Ashford 24” 8 Shaft loom arrived from New Zealand today.

Hopefully I can get it put together. I’ve watched a few You Tube videos and unpacked my tools.

The art studio is packed and ready for movers. All looms are empty except the rigid heddle (I have to have something to do).
Unfortunately I packed a little too quickly because the movers aren’t coming for another 11 days.

She is finally off the loom.
No more projects for a while as I’m buying a home and moving my weaving studio to the new house.

This is probably my least favorite cloth I ever wove, which is the reason it’s still on my 8 shaft loom. But I am almost done.
5/2 cotton, plaited twill

Do you hemstitch? It took me quite a while to learn this, but now I do it on all my weavings.

I participated in my spinners and weavers guild Dye Day. We used fiber reactive dyes to tie dye, paint warps, and shibori. Results are still forthcoming.

I just put this new warp on my new Kairos inkle loom. I’m curious to see how many bookmark can get with this larger loom. On my Schacht inkle, I get 10 on one warp.

I do believe this is my first time using the same yarn for warp and weft. Also not used to weaving so loosely, or using all the heddles.
But this is my new Ashford 16” rigid heddle loom. Yarn is merino boucle.

You may have been following me @jilll.bsky.social, but I’ve decided to turn that into my personal account and create a new account for my artist business.

Here’s what is currently on my Saori loom. Linen warp, with various cotton weft, handspun wool, and pima cotton.
