New Band Weaving Gadgets
From Stoorstalka: 7 and 13 double-slotted Sunna heddles, clips, heddle threaders, and a shuttle. All of these have helped fuel my band-weaving obsession.

This band has a 13 strand pattern that I love. The pattern threads are wool, and the background threads are acrylic. Not a usual combination, I know, but it worked.
On the left is the sample I completed. After all that complaining, I realized it looks better off the loom than I thought it would, and I’m pleased with it, wavy selvedges and all. I’ve started a new one, all wool, and it’s also nice but doesn’t have the crispness that the cotton added. I altered the design somewhat so the bottom and top will match a little more. I’m thinking I can do several of these as bookmarks.
