A heddle jig and knitted heddles being made. Two net-maker's shuttles loaded with linen cord rest on the shaft bars for an antique loom. String heddles with a center eye are being made while the parts are held in place by the jig.

Closeup view of the heddles on the shaft rod, gathered in groups of nineteen. The odd/unusual number is an old unit of measurement in English and early American weaving called a "beer."

Knitting heddles. Exciting to make something new that looks like a very old thing!

I can feel a glimmer of awareness/understanding of other things related to this way of cloth-making coming into my consciousness – which is maybe just to say that old tools teach me.

This crackle sample piece I wove for the 'Violet Protest' project in 2020 caught my eye today because here we are again. You can read more about the project here www.npr.org/2021/06/05/1...

Three handwoven black-faced sheep coasters mounted in frame.

I gifted a sheep farmer friend some Sheep coasters and look how she mounted them into a fun wallhanging!

I got this stupid idea to do as many patterns from Viking age Birka as I can. This is how it started: Birka B2

One of the warps I forgot to label so I have no clue what pattern I planned to do. This is what I came up with.

Getting started on a new 8 shaft double weave... a little experimenting before I start weaving some new placemats.

So close! I’m almost done warping this loom for a sample weave. This short muga silk warp has been a bear to thread in this draft but hopefully it’ll be worth it? #weaving #handweaver #handweaving #8shaftloom

Oh no, Theseus is helping again!
He is very fond of chasing threads and loves to chew on the paper cones the yarn comes wound on, too. I guess I have to wait with the warp until he decides to take the afternoon nap. #catshelpweave #warp #handweaver #tabletweaving #yarn

I'm a #handweaver working from a little wooden studio at the back of my garden in #Winchester, UK. I weave textiles for the home and body on a vintage, 8-shaft countermarch loom using natural fibres only. Please say hello and follow if you're a #weaver too or general #textile enthusiast! #weaving

Newbie here, just figuring bksy out, but I did make a List of folks whom I think have been part of our tribe on facebook #Blazingshuttleschatter group. If you are like, What???, please disengage. :-) Otherwise, please alert the media (invite more!) #kathrinweber #handdyer #handweaver #FBmigration

I might try the following: #handweaving #handweaver, and all those variations. Also, a tip - you can go to the # in your account navigation and then search for a feed on some of these topics and find others that way too. I'm still, very slowly, finding that all out myself.

Placemats

A cloth in progress on a loom. The view is from the front beam looking over the woven green cloth towards warp threads that range in color from golden to brown to blue and green. A shuttle with a shiny line green weft thread in a bobbin rests on the cloth.

Weaving up some of my own handspun. Yes, #handspun in the warp not the weft - I’m living dangerously. #weaving #handweaving #handweaver
