Testing out a new design. Wasn't sure how it would transform with the wet finish! #weaving

Woah! Love this! Did a similar design with pickup. Might try my hand at the tablet version for a side by side!

I used heat-shrink tubing from the electrical section of the hardware store, along with some super glue and a heat gun. Still a little fatter than I'd like. Probably going to try metal aglets next time that you can just clamp onto the lace.

Some Alaska-y stashbuster towels. #weaving

Three handwoven towels on a wood background. The towels have a plaid of white, blue, and yellow.

Woah! Love how dynamic that twill comes across!

Look at that! Another deflected doubleweave side by side. This one was sleyed too dense, but love the trippiness. Pattern by Stubenistky #weaving

Love me a side-by-side showing the changes in deflected doubleweave. Before washing and after: #weaving

The pattern on a yellow and purple deflected doubleweave scarf before washing. The yarn is loose and the design is square and angular.

After washing, the square design on the scarf had become tight and rounded.

Squee! My third #weaving project was going to be a gift, but actually, I'm keeping them 🙃

Playing with some advancing twill for a #trippy decorative band on this loud towel. #weaving

A light green crackle pattern is woven over a magenta warp on a loom. The pattern contains diamonds of varying sizes, as well as a decorative band with a ripple effect.

Hello #weavingHotline, I have a Maccomber floor loom and I don't know what this accessory is for. Any ideas? #weaving

A small, metal accessory against a wooden background. The accessory is flat, with one curved edge and one edge that is jagged like a staircase.
