Warp for 4 towels using an alternating thread gradient for a very smooth color transition vs solid stripes. I plan to change the treadling so each towel has a different weft pattern. My color choices were partially inspired by a poster I designed years ago. #handwoven #handweavingacademy #mymindseye

Six of my seven Deep Dive into Twill students are still weaving away, 40 minutes after class ended.

Does that mean they're having fun, or that I've dumped too much weaving on them? 🤔 #vashonary #handwoven #weaving #handweavingacademy

The newbies have all woven their first cloth, dressed the loom with a practice warp & cut it off, then planned and wound a Proper Warp(tm). They'll start weaving their For Realz project tomorrow.

We are QUANKED. Happy, but quanked! #weaving #handwoven #handweaving #vashonary #handweavingacademy

It's Vashonary! My annual stint of ~5 weeks on Vashon Island, WA, weaving *just* about 24/7. #vashonary #handweaving #handwoven #handweavingacademy
