A Big #HandsOff from a little mountain town, #Truckee, CA.

Bad actor brown warp threads cut off, still some minor tension issues, but manageable. I like the rose weft, and glad to have kept a slight bit of brown in the warp. #Weaving #handwoven #painfulLearningExperiences #warpWoes

MO Boudreaux is not amused #catsky

#Weaving hive mind I've got a question for you. I just recently purchased the sectional beam kit for my (recently purchased Schact Baby Wolf. I am used to 1" sections, but these are 2" sections. Ran into some complications but now I'm in a real (literal) bind. 1/3

Well, it seems this first #towel is going to be a color gamp - yellow weft in prior picture, purple, and lavender in this one. #Weaving #handwoven #fiberart #floorloom

I think we're finally there. Had to fix a couple of slaying errors, and the hem is as close to plain weave as this threading goes. 8/2 cotton, 24 epi x 10 yards for towels. Fibonacci sequence stripes. Undulating twill #Strickland number 216 #Weaving #fiberart #handwoven #floorloom

Well we're getting there. 8/2 cotton (Webs, Brassard, Camile Valley, mystery brand) at 24 epi x 10 yards. Been a bit so everything takes more time and more complaints from my body. Will probably tie onto the cloth beam later. #Weaving #handwoven #fiberart #teatowel #stricklerincolor

10 yard towel warp beamed. Maybe, someday, I'll learn to not do ambitious projects the first time out with new equipment. I just added the sectional beam to my Baby Wolf and it's been a minute since I've done any sectional warping. We'll see how it goes. Once I asked for some help it went fast.

Just added a sectional beam to my Schacht Baby Wolf. Not loving these 2 inch sections. Too many spools needed with all the color changes! #Weaving #handweaing #towels
