fruits of last week


beamed, threaded and reeded.only 2 crossed threads.i was trying peggy osterkamp's method, but as my table loom differs i needed to hack it a bit. ended up with a hybid,but it works for my situation.also i was able to thread from the front and with these thick yarns it was a breeze.
the weaving will be another story.

look at all those lifts.by hand!
(o・ω・o)
this is a turned taquete hybrid. i don't care about the nomenclature as long as it's visually interesting and the cloth is a sound construction. note the operative word in the post is hybrid.
<( ̄︶ ̄)> haha the weaving police is coming to get me.

the required weft is almost 4x finer than the warp meaning more picks meaning slower weaving.i envision weaving all through the summer.but some years ago i wove yardage which was never ending. mind you i am talking about a table loom  and hand lifts. 
in the meantime rain permitting i need to run an ai vat and dye the silk weft for the warp that has been sitting demurely on the other loom.

color sequencing



after two days moving changing and back again.this is the color sequence for the next warp. all these gorgeous silks were dyed using natural dyes,mostly madder,cochineal and alkanet.the yarn on the extremes were alkanet dyed, have not had the luck to get lilac/ violet.the beige yarns escape mebut think they were dyed in pomegranate skins.planning to finish the warp chains over the weekend.
look at that electronic brother beauty shot in the background.(  ☆__☆ )
