aaaand she's weaving!

on the loom

and that means that it has finally cooled off a bit. this warp will almost be occupational therapy, being so thick 8 ends x cm !it's on the 12 shaft  table loom which is truly a cinch to warp. don't know why.
the different silks were dyed all though last fall and this year. pinks are cochineal, yellow greens are carrot tops and the beige i think it was either boiled chestnut water or diluted walnut. so good for not keeping notes.
the weft will be either a pretty navy 16 /1 linen or  ai dyed silk. still testing.

on the domestic bs department the plumber came this morning after waiting for him for a whole week.
you should guide the young ones in your family to go to voc. school and study plumbing sciences.will make more money than lawyers and doctors combined.

can someone please tell me

red silk-b-w2

why silk tangle so much no matter how many ties it has? SIGH! and i'm very careful. apparently have to be more. the good news is that it's very thick by my standards 8 ends x cm so untangling is relatively easy.
this was dyed with cochineal the value is a somewhat cooler red, but i was having photo fun.
winding on tomorrow. and waiting for the plummer to show up and fix a leaky pipe.

ETA: and yes, just made a purchase at amazon.es!
