Almost at the end of the warp. Hand dyed warp of tencel, wool and bamboo with tencel and bamboo weft. A crêpe weave on 8 shafts, straight draw.

Hand-dyed warp going on…..

[hlahlahlahlahly]

It's important to summon the creature out of the warp before you start to weave

Obviously the key reason to get into weaving is the near limitless pride flag potential.

This is 8 metres of trans warp threaded for 5 different twills. Winding the warp went SO MUCH BETTER than my first project a couple weeks ago and I am especially proud of how smoothly my warp chains unravelled.

With the trans yarns I also ordered sample cards for a couple different yarn companies so that I can compose some rainbow flag variants.

Hype hype hypeeeee

a couple more pieces from my last warp of 2024 :-)

handwoven cotton, dec. 2024

[bookshelfdreams]

yk when you see someone share a finished handmade item that they clearly spent a lot of time and money on and it's just. The absolute tackiest thing you have seen in your life. And then you ask yourself why someone would waste all those resources on such an eyesore.

(no, of course you can't relate to that because you're a much nicer person than me)

In any case.

BEHOLD!

A wool coat!

The top fabric is handwoven and handspun, the whole thing is sewn by hand, too.

Leftovers. Barely anything, all things considered, which is very satisfying.

This thing took me well over 3 years to make, on and off. And now I'm done.

Thank you for your attention.

Getting another batch of the rainbow fabric worked on as of 1/5/24, going to use this batch to make a bunch more of the little zipper bags and some new *experiments* I'm hoping turn out cool!

Have some loom ASMR!

If you have weaving questions, leave them on this post and I'll do a video at the loom answering the best I can!

So, exactly one year ago I did this:

It's a fully hand woven pride flag, and this time I went further than ever with all the work. I studied how to weave, I built the weaving loom, and only then wove the flag, which took about two full weeks. It's far from perfect, but I am so proud (pun fully intended) of how it turned out.

It's made with and of love (the rest is 100% cotton 😌); not meant for me, but ended up with me in the end

It will always be a dear memory, with all that it entails

And now, one year from there, I am so so happy ❤️

Improvised a small loom to test out my handspun singles

I am really happy with the colors! Its a very thin fabric as well, which is great because I want it to become a dress

Yesterday I got the big wool blankets warped up on the loom at the studio. It looks like Lisa Frank barf and I love it. It took almost the whole weekend to warp and I only got about 20 minutes of actual weaving in before I had to leave. I wanna go back!!

Weaving with 100% bamboo has been the most pleasant experience of my weaving life!

[no-pants-dan]

Took a weaving class last weekend and learned about shadow weave! It's a color-and-weave technique that creates patterns without using long floats. This is four colors: the warp is what you see in the fringe (lemongrass and like cobalt blue) and the weft is a burnt red and dark seaweed teal.

The shine from the tencel fiber and the shadow weave structure have an iridescent effect that I absolutely love. And the fabric feels lustrous but sturdy because it's mostly plain weave! I will say I did not love working with tencel, but I'm curious about other very shiny fibers now.

Here is my color sampling and some progress photos:

Now I have this 76in scarf made of a fiber that won't keep me warm. I'll absolutely never wear something like this. I'm thinking about cutting it and sewing it into drawstring bags. Maybe add some beaded fringe? Idk, I'll take other people's ideas.

New Loom!

I posted this on Instagram but I just realized I didn't post it here!

Look at my new friend!

This giant (for me) project is actually the second I've done on my new loom:

Here's the first, avert your eyes from my embarrassing threading error:
