This color wheel is awesome. Just choose a color on the wheel itself by dragging around the little circle, and then you can find the colors that are complementary, split complementary, etc. You can even go lighter (tints) and darker (shades) or type in a hex code. It’s fun for designing, planning, or just playing.
Here’s a new-to-me addition to my loom family, a 25″ Schacht Tapestry Loom.
It’s a deceivingly simple loom, basically a frame with a tension bar, but it has the ability to do a continuous warp, which means you can weave something 60″ long, plus it has four harness dowels for patterned weaving. I warped the loom with what I had left of my churro warp. Spacing it at about 5 epi, I have a 15″ width. I wove a footer with some beautiful blue indigo wool, and then I used string heddles to add a twill pattern. It takes four harnesses. My plan is to only do small areas of twill, followed by some wedge weave.
Done, except for the fringes. I don’t quite know what I’ll do with them. Off the loom, this measures about 12″ square, but it did get narrower the closer I got to the top.
… April Fools!
I did. I did purchase another loom! Because I need another one just about as much as I need another hole in my head.
Almost fooled you, didn’t I?
