Seasonal Weaving

The last few months have been a season for me to put my focus on writing a book about prayer. This has been a season of less weaving than usual. Still, I find a way to get to the looms–a little here, a little there. It adds up. The nice thing about handweaving is that you have something to show for your efforts. Every little weft thread counts. Every day is a gift from the Lord, and every season is an opportunity to acknowledge Him. Thank you, Lord, for every season!

Here’s what I’ve been up to in this weaving season:

Eight different weft colors for this goose-eye twill. 7/2 Brage Wool.
Cloth beam filling up.
Standing back and enjoying the colors.
Roadrunner on the drawloom. Cottolin and linen. Six ground shafts.
Beginning the top half of the roadrunner pattern. Chart hangs for handy reference as I move up the chart, row by row.
Roadrunner complete. Next chart to design is the Texas Longhorn. And three more critters after that.
Curtain fabric, 24/2 cotton M’s and O’s.
Cloth beam filling up.
Take a step back and enjoy the process.

Happy Weaving, Karen

  2. Hi Karen
    Your weaving is lovely.
    I have purchased a julia loom this week (8 shaft countermarch) but it hasn’t come with any instructions of how to build the countermarch. I had instructions for a 2 shaft counterbalance and instructions regarding all the texsolv cords but nothing regarding the countermarch. The top screws seem too long and I have 7 large fat plastic washers that I haven’t a clue what to do with. Did you get instructions for building the countermarch. It’s bank holiday in the UK tomorrow so I will get onto the company I purchased it from on Tuesday. It’s good to see the loom does a good job when it’s up and working.
