1st PROJECT ON THE NEW LOOM

Here is the first finished project. There were lots of tension problems resulting in more mistakes than normally - there are always a couple, I think. But it will get sorted out.

NEW LOOM

This is how my new loom arrived: 80 cm Ashford, 8 shafts with 4 treadles.

Mac is wondering what this is going to be

Assembly finished at last:

And this little guy helped wind the first warp

Fresh off the Loom:

Alpaca Blanket, which will be much used in our current chilly winter temperatures.

Size: 1.50 x 1.35 m

Warp Alpaca fingering, hand- dyed

Weft hand-dyed Alpaca DK

WILD WEAVING

Two new projects done on  my Knitters' Loom:

a waistcoat

                                                      



and a tunic:

 

                                        

RIGID HEDDLE LOOM WEAVING

The tunic was woven on a space dyed warp - burnt orange and denim - with white sections. The weft was clasped denim and white.\

BLANKET FOR JUSTUS

This is my first project after the Rigid Heddle Course with Glynis Brook here in Wilderness in December. A new Baby in the family was an opportunity to weave a blanket. (No, I'm not a grandma... yet?)

Dies ist das erste Projekt nach dem Webkurs mit Glynis Brook hier in Wilderness im Dezember 2013. Die Familie bekam Zuwachs and das war eine gute Gelegenheit, eine Decke zu weben (nein, ich bin (noch?) keine Oma).

My Ashford Knitter's Loom is only 30cm wide, therefore I wove four strips which I joined with a machine zickzack stitch. The stripes in warp and weft are random (might this be the beginning of "Wild Weaving"?)

Mein Ashford Knitter's Loom ist nur 30cm breit. Daher habe ich vier Streifen gewebt, die ich dann mit der Maschine zusammengenaeht habe. Die gewebten Musterstreifen sind unterschiedlich breit.

Warp and Weft are Vinni's Colours Nikkim (Cotton) in many colours. The binding is cotton fabric in matching colours.

Size: approx. 115x115 cm.

Material: Reines Baumwollgarn in vielen Farben, Die Einfassung ist Baumwollstoff.

Groesse: ca. 115x115cm

Gilet and Scarf

simple tabby woven on 4 shafts . Marina gave me the pattern for the gilet. 

 The scarf was knit with the silk/alpaca yarn that was mentioned in an older post.
