view from above of a woven web. Warp is stripped brown, yellow, rose, purple, sand, lavender center than mirror of the other stripes. Weft is sand. A boat shuttle sits on the warp above the woven area.
#Towel #8 - getting close to the end! Usually I don’t like to go with a light color as it tends to wash out the warp colors, but that’s what I’m doing. #Strickland #223 very long repeat, undulating twill. #weaving #handwoven #8shaftweaving #fiberarts #craftsky
The colors are reds grays and blue teen woven with a golden weft. On the loom.
The pattern is lines of zigzags. Woven cotton cloth on the loom.
Finished red and multi colored fabrics on a table a trinket box sits upper right of the photo.
The art of multi shaft loom weaving is in the color and fiber selection, the yarn makes straight line while the pattern creates shapes and curves and texture. #blueskyartshow #lines #8shaftweaving

Three years since our weaving group had an online workshop weekend with Natalie Drummond, learning about deflected double weave #weaving #8shaftweaving #deflecteddoubleweave
An overhead view of a warp under tension on a loom, with about an inch of weaving completed. The warp is slightly shiny and a beige color, while the weft alternates between a thin shiny white and a thicker, softer matte white. Two shuttles with full bobbins rest in the weaving.
Yes! I am finally weaving on this warp! It’s a sample, to see how these fibers work in this draft. I may need to tighten up the sett a bit, so we’ll see, but I’m so happy to already see the pattern. Muga silk warp, silk and soy weft. #weaving #handweaving #8shaftweaving
Getting started on a new 8 shaft double weave... a little experimenting before I start weaving some new placemats.

My looms have been feeling neglected so I thought I'd dress all four for a weaving party. #weaversofinstagram #handweaversofnovascotia #8shaftweaving #4shaftweaving #rigidheddleloom #slowwoven #slowmade #slowcraft
Finally finished the warp. Now to cut into towels, hand hem and wash.

Enjoying the colours I'm weaving. They brighten the windy stormy day outside. I shall be sad when I finish this warp. #weaving #louetspring2 #loom #8shaftweaving #joyfulcolours
