more yarns. it's war!


happy camper.
they are here and they make a handsome pair.the purple one is 1/20 cashmere the color a bit darker.
the green is 2/44 merino a muted lime green.

and now, let us proceed weaving with two looms, shifting gears from computerized dobby to table loom and back.might not be a good idea.

more collapse



it took me very long,but finally this warp is beamed.the white yarn stripe on the left of the pinks is an 18turn x cm wool very fine i'd say about 1/60nm.you can imagine managing the kinks! frequent breaks help as i just managed 3 broken ends.
the pink is cochineal, the darker terracotta is madder :( thinking about piece dyeing either red with leena's mushrooms or logwood. still have time to think about it.
