Tablet weaving might be an option to weave diagonal lines, if that’s something you’d enjoy. Narrow wares (shoelaces, tape and hatbands etc.), but takes up no space in your house and the patterns leap off the bands!

Jillian, this was such as excellent video! I had a lump in my throat for most of it, thinking of those who’ve suffered in the past and those who suffer now to bring the West cheap disposable textiles. Where do we go from here?

I hemstitch too except when I’m weaving cloth yardage for sewing or for tend that get hemmed.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Nothing really prepares you for the tiny casket. I hope your weaving can allow you space and mental quiet.

I’m a big believer in buying oneself a present. I bought a jigsaw puzzle from the Goulburn Show which seems exactly timed to celebrate my birthday 😉

You could also put a rod under the rest of the warp (which is getting looser) and position it behind the beam and weight the edges to approach a similar tension.

I have perhaps misunderstood, though, not having tried sectional beaming yet (I read this as tighter tension because you’d sorted twice the density but re-reading, that doesn’t make sense.

You can cut off and resley the reed, too don’t worry about how densely they were beamed. I’ve done this plenty of times. Once they are the same density you’ll have the same tension going forward. 😊

I haven’t decided yet, but I’m thinking of rethreading! I just had a full day out today and another tomorrow so I’m letting the idea simmer. It will be quite a measly border I think. 🤔
