I am playing around with four shafts on the Louet W30 loom. Believe it or not, the yarn is the old Red Heart acrylic I kept meaning to put in a giveaway box. I finally decided to use it up. I “think” this is a twill, but it reverses the patten. It’s on page 71 of The Handweaver’s Pattern Directory by Anne Dixon.
I've been thinking about built-in warping boards ever since I watched the commerical for a Clover loom (available in Japan only). The warping board is shown if you forward to the 1:40 mark. Here's a first try at adapting an expandable clothing rack to create a warping board on the Emilia. I think I could get twice as long of a wap if I zig-zag from side to side instead of go around in a circle. It looks strange, but it worked great.
This rug, woven out of recycled t-shirts, shrunk to 21″ off the loom, and I’m expecting it to shrink again after washing; however, I’m pleased with it so far. The kitty likes it, too. đŸ™‚
Take two! This time, I'm using the 24" Erica loom, the strips are a little wider, and I'm not beating the picks as heavily.
