Missing Skein

I believe I have looked everywhere for the missing skein but no joy. So I re-did the sums and yes I was right. There was no margin at all so I have ordered 4 more skeins. Well I am not going to risk not having enough weft. 

Today I started threading up the double weave Tencel and later decided that I would make a haori at the Bournville class. So I have worked out the dimensions and that's all. Tomorrow at the class I will start designing where the decoration will go. I have started on the Morning Glory book but have not got far.


The most important thing I have done today is to watch 'The Trouble with Harry'. I always forget how funny it is. I have a weakness for Shirley McLean.

About Me

I am weaver and - -. I dye my yarns with acid dyes, I paint my warps, put fabric collages and stencils on my weaving. I have three looms, a 12 inch wide, 12 shaft Meyer for demos and courses, a 30 inch Louet Kombo which is nominally portable but has a stand, two extra beams and a home-made device containing a fan reed. And last a 32 shaft Louet Megado which is computer controlled, has a sectional warp and a second warp beam and I am the proud owner of an AVL warping wheel which I love to bits and started by drilling holes in. I inserted a device for putting a cross in. I have just acquired an inkle loom and had a lesson from an expert so I can watch TV and weave at the same time. I am interested in weaving with silk mostly 60/2 although I do quite a bit with 90/2 silk. I also count myself as a bookbinder with a special interest in Coptic binding.
