I think I read that it is similar to silk, but man made? (I'll have to read up on it.) I was thinking of giving it a shot, spinning wise.Carriehttp://www.etsy.com/shop/Dyeingforewenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-11227086742016883662010-05-29T17:45:47.694-07:002010-05-29T17:45:47.694-07:00What a fun post to follow along with!

I love the creamy whites. I do something like your tie-up sheet, but not half as nice. I list the shaft with an arrow going up or down, so I know if I want the shaft to sink or rise.<br />Oh bummer on the thumb.

I would love to be able to raise my loom to tie up the treadles of my 12 harness LeClerc Nilart ...... alas, no one here to help lift the loom, and this loom you would need 4 strong men!!!! So I do have to get down underneath it. I must admit, I have never tied up all 12 harnesses - YET!!! Susan take care of your thumb. Hopefully you Dad is on the road to recovery.<br />Weaverly yours ..... Barbara<br /><br />P.S. The shawls will be beautiful!!!!barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465878144931259109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-49162349113155748152010-05-28T16:02:20.000-07:002010-05-28T16:02:20.000-07:00I echo the other folks sentiments about the warpin...I echo the other folks sentiments about the warping pictures.

At least this time it seems a bit more familiar to me ! The thumb looks really nasty and would be very painful, should get you off washing up for quite a while I would say. Pushing those loops over the knobs on the treadles cannot have been easy !<br />Great tip to use post it notes to isolate the bits you are working on.<br />Can't wait for the next episode ! have a safe trip this weekend and hope Dad will be a bit better.dorothylochmabenhttp://dorothystewart.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
