Finger Manipulated Weft Floats

I was trying to come up with a way to integrate beehives spun into yarn, into my weaving. I realized this would also apply to a triangular loom. In a triloom I weave with the arrow pointing to the floor. I consider the strands horizontal to the floor my warp... The strands perpendicular to the floor are my weft. In order for my beehives to be at the top I float the weft over the warp...

Here is a picture on a rigid heddle loom.

Finally finishing my shawl

I must confess I have had this shawl on my Triloom for some time... Now I am in the home from of finishing. I am trying to decide on a yarn for the border. I saw my Triloom teacher today. She does incredible stuff with a Triloom...I would love to be as talented as she is.    

Weaving For Relaxation

With all of the nasty viruses going around, weaving can be a great source of relaxation.  Whether you are doing rigid heddle weaving, continuous strand weaving or floor loom weaving.   It is a great way to express yourself and escape. Our craft can join and connect people in a common interest.   The sense of community that comes from sharing weaving can bridge a great many differences .Working with ones hands can bring great joy.    The joy and community are also elements of life that promote health.   I try to spend some time every day on my craft.   Sometimes it is weaving, sometimes it is spinning yarn and most recently I am learning to sew. (Oh the ideas for the fabric)
