FlaxandFleece weaving blog: October 2013
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 13 October 2013. Tying on linen and wool warp, and sampling! I tied the linen and wool warp onto the wool one, weaving a strip of plain weave first to keep all the ends in order and make them easier to find. It worked very well, I had no crossed ends doing it this way, and it was quite quick to do. This is a huck tie up but I'll only be using plain weave in a very open sett for this. This is the second scarf on the striped warp, I used the same lycra yarn in the weft at intervals of about an inch...

FlaxandFleece weaving blog: huck scarves
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2013/09/huck-scarves.html
Monday, 23 September 2013. I once did a completely different style of huck scarf and someone told me it was not true huck - this is probably even less true huck, but I was aiming at honeycomb anyway. I'm not a purist! This is a close-up - the 'cells' are outlined with a heavy black yarn which adds a bit of texture. 25 September 2013 at 07:59. Are you sure its tracking? It looks to me more like creasing during the wet finishing. Try wetting it again and see if it comes out. Tracking happens more i...I sti...

FlaxandFleece weaving blog: November 2011
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 24 November 2011. These are all using a basic tie-up, to see what variety you can do without having to crawl under the loom. I've avoided all the very strong zigzag motifs. I like the diagonal stripe in the orange, which comes out as a very plain weave on the back. Next time I'll definitely move on to something new. Saturday, 19 November 2011. Pebble twill and others. And this is the original dog tooth check I started with. After I'd pressed it I gave it a bit of a brush with a clothes brus...

The Flyin' Bobbin: This and That
http://flyinbobbin.blogspot.com/2016/03/this-and-that.html
Musings about working with fiber, and living the rural life. Friday, March 18, 2016. First off, I'd like to say that in the last post I mentioned that the entralac scarf structure was not very "giving". Well, that is not true! It is very pliable. I think it would. Make good socks or hats as it isn't firm at all. I don't know what I was doing that day, but it wasn't feeling my work! Rosa exploring the brook. She thought it was wonderful. Don't get excited about the green grass. That is a picture from ...

WEAVING FOR FUN: December 2014
http://weavingforfun.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. I have finished up the red and white dimity striped towels. They sure wove up fast. But then again, I was only using one shuttle and five treadles for the pattern. With this threading, I was not able to get a true plain weave, but I was able to get one that worked. Now on to the washer and dryer to see how the pattern really looks. Friday, December 26, 2014. Strips the Light Fantastic. All red weft. (top). All white weft. (bottom). Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Strips To You Too.

The Flyin' Bobbin: February 2014
http://flyinbobbin.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Musings about working with fiber, and living the rural life. Friday, February 7, 2014. This week's snowfall left us with about 10 inches of lovely, fluffy new snow. It looks like winter now, for sure. I took the time while inside to do some much needed cleaning of areas and finishing of projects. My favorite was the blankie and bear for Ty and Alyssa's baby, due this month. Ty and Alyssa on their wedding day. Here is the baby gift. The middle is double knit which makes it reversible and warm. That was so...

Musings about working with fiber, and living the rural life. Thursday, March 13, 2014. I have lived in New England all my life, so snow in March does not phase me. So having two days of snow, sleet and blustery cold wind from the north, is not unheard of. Second day, still snowing. That doesn't mean I am keen on it. Especially hard is the cold. It is only 9 degrees! That is what makes it so difficult. The wind, which I find is sort of hard to photograph, makes it feel much, much colder. Links to this post.

FlaxandFleece weaving blog: Second scarf
http://flaxandfleece.blogspot.com/2013/10/second-scarf.html
Sunday, 13 October 2013. This is the second scarf on the striped warp, I used the same lycra yarn in the weft at intervals of about an inch, but used orange and purple stripes using the same yarns as in the warp. I have a feeling it hasn't pleated as densely as the first scarf, perhaps because the purple yarn is a bit thicker than the sage green I used in the other. This is a close up.
