never fails

the big blue box cuts it. been looking for something comfortable,tall and with foot rest to use for the looms for years and years,making do with what i could find. but in the latest catalog saw this chair-stool and dashed there before it sold out. 

i am smitten. right height, foot rest,comfortable, very easy to set up and the price was almost embarrassing.

have to go back and get a couple more to be kept as replacements.you know how it is once you find something that works for you it gets discontinued.

hitting the mark

one repeat,889 passes,69 cms. assorted weaving drama and bs have accompanied these passes:

sticky yarns, many,many broken warps, stretched loom cords,shafts sticking and not lifting.i think it all was a result of the obscene heat we've experienced.

the good news is that those 69 cms will get me a sleeve ^_^.

going to the big blue box to get a chair. there's one in the latest catalog that looks like it might work.

that will also help to speed up the weaving a little.

beauty shots tomorrow.

it's a wrap

got a gorgeous teal blue on this silk skein.three dips.

this year the ai gods have been auspicious, good vat good dyeing sessions, good results. 

once i got the ph and temperature sorted out it's been as they say here singing and sewing.

there's still some indigo in the vat albeit the fabric scraps that went in to exhaust it.

it's getting cooler so it's a wrap. more next year.
