New Spool Rack and Spinning Wheel





Today I had fun at the local weaver's guild used equipment sale. I picked up a spool rack that my spouse wanted for warping his loom and also a little double drive spinning wheel that needs just a little bit of work to be a nice wheel. It's such a pretty wheel.
I also picked up some pearl cotton and various little odds and ends such as orifice hooks, sleighing hooks and such.

A New Handwoven Scarf


Chris has woven another new rayon scarf. The warp is hand dyed by me in turquoise and purple and the weft is black. It'll be in the Etsy shop in a day or two.


Update: It's in the shop here and this is what Chris has to say about it:
A handwoven rayon scarf with a unique twill pattern. This is what happens when a "pattern person" gets carried away. This scarf is woven using a progressing twill pattern on a purple and turquoise hand-dyed warp with a black weft. The result: an eye catching scarf with a wonderfully soft hand. It measures 7 1/2 inches wide by 45 inches long with an additional 3 inch twisted fringe.


Another update - it sold.

New Scarf on the Loom


My spouse weaves scarves using warps that I hand dye. Here's one scarf almost completed on the loom. The warp is purple and turquoise hand dyed rayon and the weft is black rayon. He has two more scarves to weave on this warp before he can take it off the loom.
The loom is a 44 inch Louet Spring 8 harness.
