dealing with wants

it is quite ironic that being here surrounded with vegetable matter with dyeing potential i have not dyed in a whole year. the itch has been almost unbearable let me tell you. 

Yesterday my morning walk included foraging the budleja patches and came home with about 200 grams worth of prime flowers.

the interest comes from the availability and also this post where the whole process is explained. master dyer jenny dean has also  a very informative post.  
 unlike dean, i am not using dead flower heads so keep watching this section for the outcome.

the dyeing will come a tad early for the purchase to solve and re direct all dyeing endeavors.

i had been looking for a milk heating thermos when i should have been looking for a beer making unit DUH.

found one which is not too pricey, well after seeing the prices for milk thermos anything below that is not pricey, and ordered it.will be here in a week. perhaps it's not too late for a quick ai vat.

the bores

have already finished and now i am straightening some twisted threads, then debugging. the louet raddle is a nightmare. will be changing it for this one, same principle but better dimensioned.
waiting for the weft yarns to arrive, bringing stuff from the backburner to the front one  meanwhile.

what will be will be

still needs some tweaking in the tieup but this is it.the treadling would have been great as an advancing treadling, but cant face that as handlifts. width vs electronic heaven.
now starts the voyage into boredom 800 threads to sley and thread.
