the hand that cuts the warp

off the loom

in action. two dowels inserted to save an error free threading for a future project that is already cooking slowly in the backburner. this warp has already been washed and will soon hit the mordanting pot.now on to the dobby and the silk warp.

received a message from aracne this morning. there's a fellow weaver who raises cashmere goats and sells this awesome yarn. she is going through a difficult time and needs to sell some yarn. here's the link. please consider helping out.

moving on.
seems that there are problems at yahoo. lots of compromised mail addresses, inability to access groups, flickr etc.
my mail was suffering so if you receive a post from me with weird links please ignore and do not by the love of cyberia click on the link.
i've already re set and  changed passwords.
 yet more page turning.
someone commented that when trying to access my blog got a blank blog instead.
simple explanation: my blog is a movable feast with its glorious typo. the correct moveable one was already take and i really, really wanted that title. google is dumb and you can fool it (^_^) well, most of the times.

holey grunge

holey grunge

finished. throwing the shuttle and pondering about the color. kakishibu? lichen? combined dyeing or straight ?

today i followed a lady for 3 blocks pretending i was going her way and not stalking her.  i really had to pay attention to my walking pace keeping a prudent distance  and to my hands which tended to fly towards the garment and touch it .
she was wearing a knitted tunic and with my present abilities i can make it. 2 long rectangular pieces folded creating the front and then stitched together on the back  with sides stitched together. one long band shaped  as small shawl collar then narrowed to create front bands for the garment. basically the long rectangular things i can make, but as they say over here with a little bit of story  (^_^)
oh daring ignorance!

 while on the subject of stalking this web page is worth every minute. the most gorgeous yarns and threads to be seen. fabulous metallics, specialty yarns and much, much more. there is a photo essay on linen spinning process and another on  silk spinning process. very timely as we were commenting about them yesterday!  
i found  the place  while searching for  fine linen 30 or 40 grist. anyone knows places for fine linen here in europe?
