next warp

not yet the proverbial 100 hours needed to perfect the craft of sectional warping so it still looks amateurish. after threading i will need to size the yarns again with agar-agar.but it's a short narrow warp so no big deal. the silk warp is all dyed with carrot tops , eucalyptus and some madder.the weft is murasaki.

need to cut the stencil to be printed randomly on the warp.

acronym for let me check my files.have you ever asked information about a technique and gotten that answer?it's  code for not in a million years i'm sharing.

luckily those are exceptions because most people believe in knowledge transfer.

with a little help from my friends i got directions and web pages about how to process paper and turn it into yarn.

i've embarked in this for a project i've been pondering.not intending to devote my life to shifu or the way to turn paper into thread and weave with it.
