My loom and I have a love-hate relationship for the past month. I have removed and reslayed twice. By taking this picture I noticed I skipped a slot. I don’t care, I’m moving on. This is set up for double weave. Let the games begin!

So, some disturbing news for knitters that love a good wool yarn. Shepherds Wool is going to close sometime this year. One of their products is called crazy yarn. They take leftover remnants from their spinning and ply them together to create colorful skeins. They have been around for 27 years.

Anyone familiar with Greenfield Village in Michigan? My weaving guild met there today to watch a Jacquard loom in action. There is only a few left in the country. Oh my stars! It’s two stories tall! But, the designs you can create! #weaving
