Black and white warp threads going through the heddles on a Louet Delta floor loom.
Believe it or not, I love the warping process as much as I love the weaving. It is soothing for me to be at my loom, regardless of what I am working on. These will be twill towels from season 4, episode 1, of the Jane Stafford School of Weaving. #Weaving #MultiShaftWeaving #JaneStaffordTextiles

A black and white pic of me with my dear sheep, Black Velvet, and two red hearts. She was demanding pets and hugs in the barn. Taken from my barn camera footage.
The next 3 finished scarves in my Black Velvet Collection. Black Velvet provided the yarn for the warp, and I used alpaca and mohair for the weft. Please DM me if you are interested in purchasing a scarf! 🐑❤️🐑❤️🐑 #Weaving #MultiShaftWeaving #LouetDelta #DeborahAnneLoom #WeaversGonnaWeave

My beautiful sheep, Black Velvet, who had lovely gray wool and a sweet black face.
The last 6 scarves in the Black Velvet Collection are off the loom! Now to finish with fringe-twisting and washing! #Weaving #MultiShaftWeaving #WeaversGonnaWeave #WeaveAllTheThings #NeverStopLearning #DeborahAnneLoom #LouetDelta

Scarf 7 of the Black Velvet Collection, using green alpaca as the weft. I will have a total of 9 scarves in this collection, using the last yarn from dear Black Velvet, one of my Original Trio of sheep! 🐑❤️🐑❤️🐑 #Weaving #MultiShaftWeaving #LouetDelta #DeborahAnneLoom #WeaversGonnaWeave

These are the first 3 scarves in my Black Velvet Collection! Woven from the last of my yarn from Black Velvet, one of my first sheep, I used mohair and alpaca for the wefts. I'm hoping to have a total of nine scarves after the third warp. #LouetDelta #MultiShaftWeaving #Weaving #DeborahAnneLoom
A left arm in a splint.
In the ongoing saga of my elbows, surgery 2 was yesterday...this time on my left, rather than my right, which does make being in a splint easier for this rightie! Hoping to be back to normal activities by the end of January! 🤞🤞🤞
My three fair entries received blue ribbons, so I am very pleased (the rainbow wrap is mine, not the adorable felted reindeer! 😁🫎)! 💙💙💙 #LatahCountyFair2025 #Weaving #MultiShaftWeaving #LouetDelta #DeborahAnneLoom #JaneStaffordTextiles #LouetJane #MarjorieJaneLoom #Handspinning #SchachtLadybug🐞

Very proud to be the Superintendent for our local fair's Weaving and Spinning Show! I had a great crew of judges and helpers to get all of the entries judged and displayed, and I'm excited for the next 4 days of the Fair! 🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶 #LatahCountyFair #Weaving

Finished my muted rainbow warp, finally! I wasn't able to vend at Palouse Pride after all, but I did help at the Free Mom Hugs booth, and it was a wonderful day! #LoveIsLoveIsLove 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Thrilled to have finished this scarf for my pen pal from junior high! I was so happy to hear from her and receive her request! 💚💙💚 #WeaversGonnaWeave #WeaveAllTheThings #NeverStopLearning #DeborahAnneLoom #LouetDelta #JaneStaffordTextiles #HarrisvilleShetland
Happy early Birthday! I can't wait to see The Long Walk, too!! I hope your wishes come true! 🎉🎉🎉
Then I might go for that 8-shaft. Counterbalance looms are supposed to be wonderful, and those 8 shafts will give you loads of options down the road!
For me, personally, I would choose the one that doesn't "need work," unless you feel comfortable with whatever that might entail - I'm so not someone who can fix things, so I would be in over my head! 😁

Miss Ruth had to spend a couple of nights in the hospital. We aren't sure what was wrong, but our wonderful vet took good care of her, including giving her some doses of thiamine, which perked her up. I was afraid it was polio, and if so, thiamine was what she needed. She is home and well! 🐑❤️🐑
Agatha is lovely! 😍

Thank you! Weaving is definitely my happy place!
