I weave and spin, living on northern Vancouver Island, BC 🌲 🇨🇦 My loom is a 16 shaft Megado with a compu-dobby.
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

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

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

I fell in love with the rich autumnal colours of the Sherwood Forest painted cotton warp by Blazing Shuttles. I chose a rich elegant 12 shaft twill and used burgundy tencel weft. #55882 from Handweaving.net #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving

Starting on the second scarf with my Sherwood warp (greens, golds and warm reds) and using black this time. I may call this one "Dante's Garden" as it looks like flames in the warp ahead! 🔥 #weaving #weaversknot #handwoven #multi-shaftloomweaving
