Meanwhile the slow MacLaren tartan yardage came off the loom and awaits its fate โ๏ธ๐งต #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
Took some time out to learn something new....
Thanks! I'm a Navy Brat too.... Dad was in the Royal Navy.... :)
A work in progress.... a slow weave! ๐ I'm weaving a continuous 7-8 yard length and cut apart for towels. Much easier this way. 10/2 cottons; 28 epi #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
Thank you Carol.... it's a Louet Megado 90 / 16 shaft. I love it !
Winding on 10/2 cotton for a tartan towel warp! #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
Making a start on scarf 2 and decided to liven things up... meet Lemongrass ๐ #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
I have some of Iridescent Fibers painted warps hanging around and decided to see what I could come up with. The leaf pattern seemed a natural for a vineyard inspired painted warp. From Handweaving.net #79845 - 16 shaft twill #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving
This tartan was inspired by the "Spirit of Scotland " tartan but my colour selection was a bit off so I went with what I had on hand. 20/2 silk, 28 epi #weaversknot #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving
Sunday weaving.... I felt okay enough to make a start on this scarf project. Large starburst in 8 shafts with 5 shades of tencel... #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
That's Web's 8/2 tencel in 4 shades ๐
Next warp being beamed.... will be pretty! 4 colour gradient #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
Completed towel project! ๐๐ Measure 22 x 30 and ready for duty. #weaversknot #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving
Thank you! ๐
A peek at the new warp: blend of solid blues paired with "Autumn Chardonnay" painted warp by Iridescent Fibers, and featuring 16 shaft twill leaves. Perfect for a dreary fall day #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving
Another treadling adjustment and now Iโm onto my last 2 towels โฆโฆ ๐ having fun today! #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
Flash Back Fotos: 13 years ago and me weaving my grandson's baby receiving blankets on a Woolhouse Tools CM; 8 shaft draft; 8/2 cottons. #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
A twist on the treadling and I'm onto another 2 more towels.... #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaversknot #weaving
Finally had a day at home to make a start on this warp. 8/2 cottons; sett 24 epi. A mash-up of 16 shaft drafts 79912 threading and 34861 tie up. The count in all the stripes is the same... the illusion is done by the colours. #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaversknot
A shawl project from summer time. 8/2 tencel, painted and solid shades. Soft transitions and delicate 16 shaft pattern. Handweaving.net 34777 #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving
My first warp off my new Megado 90 "Maeve" and I beamed 7.5 yards for 6 towels. Some initial challenges as I tweaked parts and such but I did get 6 full towels and some small samples. 10/2 cottons; 28 epi

Check out Lofty Fiber's web page and look at 'Helping Hands'. That's what I'm using there and love them! Also there are options at Gingerlocks Handwovens for 3D printed aids too.

I call this the "Garden Party" Shawl ๐ ... painted warp and solid tencel; 16 shaft twill; reversible. #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving
This is the companion "Making Waves" scarf to the previous lemongrass version. So, same warp, a treadling variation and a new weft colour of salmon or terracotta. A whole new look! #weaversknot #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving
Making Waves: blues to green tencel; 8 shaft crackle weave; lemongrass weft. It's a happy scarf! ๐ #weaving #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving
