It can be at the dining room table, or across my knees as I watch TV or at the desk in my studio. The styrofoam board can be cut to what ever size you need. Watch for tension across the shoulder muscles as you work. Stop and shake them out. It seems to be serious business and you can tense up.<BR/><BR/>Sue: texsolv heddles normally put on in all one direction but they sare soft and twist so it doesn't really matter (unless looking at that one rebel heddles drives you nuts) Personally I'd turn it around but then I'm anal about such things :)<BR/><BR/>Barbara: Tencel doesn't really shrink or full/ fluff up so it must be sett closer than you would with other yarns. It does 'shift' and close up gaps (as you'll see in part 2 of the huck lace shawl ) This is one reason why a consistent beat is required as the streaks of a faulty beat will show when its held up to the light.<BR/>Hence my fussing over the sett for the lace. I have an article I wrote on weaving with tencel I could send if you give me your email address. All I ask is if you share it, please give me credit for being the author.<BR/><BR/>Susan<BR/>...who hopes it was saved and on the new hard drive.... off to check!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-48533117763731751612009-03-22T16:32:00.000-07:002009-03-22T16:32:00.000-07:00Oh so good to see you back!

Glad you lead off with a weaving post!<BR/><BR/>Can I ask you a weaving question? With texsolv heddles, do you put them on straight or twisted? (I'm setting up texsolv heddles for the first time and assumed I'd just put them on the shafts straight - but one twisted and that made the eye face front and I wasn't sure then.)<BR/><BR/>I'll check back for the answer. Guests just arrived!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-79443467602883128162009-03-22T13:41:00.000-07:002009-03-22T13:41:00.000-07:00I have a question about how your method of twistin...I have a question about how your method of twisting your fringes. Once you have all the pins in place and you start the twisting action, are you bending over or have you supported the high density styrofoam in a vertical position so that your ends are handing down and you are standing up?<BR/><BR/>JuneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-39564282846130896902009-03-22T13:20:00.000-07:002009-03-22T13:20:00.000-07:00That lace is beautiful!

I love my ipod, too. I have one that is really classic (had it since '03) and I love listening to music or audiobooks while I weave.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047980721545871549noreply@blogger.com
