My week in fiber: kitchen towels on the 8 shaft loom, spinning tweed top, Ari sitting on a rigid heddle woven pillow and bookmarks on the inkle. Whew.

It’s Saori time. I put on a 30 meter warp which is 1,181 inches, so I figured I could get 18 scarves out of it. Here’s scarf 1. Cotton warp, Superbaby Alpaca, fine merino, silk, and misc. wool roving for weft.

I’m finally getting back to fiber arts after a few months of buying a house, moving, house almost burning down, mom in hospital, rescuing her cat, refereeing fights between my cat and mom’s cat, my trans son moving in and whew…trying to squeeze in a few workshops. #weaving #spinning

I should be packing (move is Friday) I determined that the first time I weave on my new loom shouldn’t be on the first day of a three day workshop in June, so I went to the art studio and unpacked the warping board and threw on a little mini project to test everything out.

Another company to add to your boycott list. I’m guessing they didn’t see the Target memo.
It's the latest big company to back away from its diversity pledges to keep the U.S. government happy.

My new Ashford 24” 8 Shaft Table loom arrived today from New Zealand. Assembled her with the help of a friend and YouTube.
Worked on her from 10am to 4pm, then a little more before and after dinner.

I finally got a Turkish spindle. I’ve been wanting one for a while. Here’s my first attempt with merino sliver.

Interesting how one chart is colored blue and the other is red. Those who wear a red hat might want to remember this come midterms.

As a veteran and as a former federal librarian that used to safeguard classified information, I have not and will not forget about this until someone is held accountable.
Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Back to weaving, On the Saori I’m weaving a narrow wall hanging for a future art show on the mycelium. Warp is linen, various wefts are cotton, wool, linen and hand spun wool.
The rigid heddle loom is 3/2 cotton warp with caterpillar cotton weft
