walking the line

 a walking threader is a great thing, but it needs patience to master. even after adequate performance i don't rush it bcse one ends up making mistakes like skipping dents or forgetting to advance hence two threads in the same dent. i find the use more iffy with silk threads.being so fine they tend to get caught in the mechanism and either cut or fray.still haven't become proficient with silk.

i timed it for the first time in my life  ¯\ ( ツ ) /¯  taking it slow and being extra cautious it took me 5 minutes to sley 12 threads.

ready to start weaving. this week is full of little bs hopefully i'll scrap some time. also hoping to get gorgeous collapse with the wool/stainless weft yarn. the warp is sleyed at 8 ends xcm. so there's room for collapse to happen. famous last words.

same yarn  different color, 

silk woven at 20 ends x cm  in a basket weave it shows some collapse
