waiting for an answer

new acquisition.waiting for louet to answer about my intended loom hack, and sectional warp beam.

it was about time i took the leap, but was somewhat hesitant about drilling holes and all that. you get my drift don't you?

the only brave soul i know is Margreet Ward , but she has mr. louet at hand.

i've always wanted a warping paddle . it's sort of 

counter productive now that i am going sectional,but nevertheless i'm going to train myself on how to use it. weaving tools are so attractive!
eventually some itomakis from japan will get to me,but for the time being warp chains will have to do.

setting up

warping.the silk has already been treated with the funori sizing. worthy of note: it doesn't tangle!
think this warp will go smoothly.

here again

after a very intense week. we scattered mother's ashes  in puerto rico near the farm where she grew up.it was a sad and bittersweet event with family and friends.

there was some island scenery and food enjoyment, but i did not see friends because i went for such a short time. it was exclusively family time.

i'm slowly easing myself into the studio work routine.

to start engines going a small 3 color double bed jacquard with no pretensions other than try the yarn grist and see if it worked using 3 strands of the same size. no problem!
