Finished and Packed Up
I managed to weave more than a metre per day on the Megado and finished the fabric late afternoon on Saturday. Mind you, I did little else except on the 1985 Bible. So last evening was spent carefully sewing in the yarn ends where I had started a new bobbin. I did not finish the repairs before bedtime so there I was at 0700 hours this morning in the sitting room, still in pyjamas, finishing the yardage. The rest of the day was spent taking unsatisfactory photographs but eventually - - . What with an hour spent negotiating with DHL to pick up the package tomorrow, it was1730 before I collapsed and declared work over for the day. And this evening I intend to wallow in Midsomer Murders so do not bother asking me to do anything till tomorrow.

About Me
- Pat
- 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.
