Thank you 😊 I’m fairly new to tapestry weaving but it’s a lovely slow way to make art.

Stitch definition is as much about how the yarn is spun as it is about quality or the type of wool. Wool can be spun woollen or worsted - woollen will give you an airy fluffy yarn, while worsted gives a tight smooth yarn with excellent stitch definition. Ply matters too.

It’s a crazy sett of 60epi (double weave). The warp is superfine tapestry yarn, my handspun wasn’t fine enough. I had to pick colours that aren’t in the tapestry I’m currently weaving - but I do love orange and blue combinations 😊

Deep breath, tomorrow will be a better day. Extend the compassion you’d give a friend in the same situation to yourself.
