Stacy is a good friend of mine. I’m glad to hear that you liked her class.

My husband made a photo collage of me weaving hand towels. 2 were for a birthday present.

I’m getting reacquainted with my Tessellation Nation blanket WIP now that I have finished the Wallflowers blanket.

I’m afraid to count 🤪

Finally finished my Wallflowers blanket after taking a couple years off to learn quilting. Seeing it blocked out made the whole project feel real.

They can be carded or and spun into yarn

Stunning! Inspiring!

Wallflowers blanket was hibernating for a couple of years due to a quilting rabbit hole. I’m finally on the final picot edging round.

Thanks!

Looks comfy. Did you follow a pattern or make your own? If the first, can you share the pattern?

Turned a tangled debacle first try at Andean plying into rolags.

Here’s the 3-ply cotton yarn and leftover singles.

3 bobbins of spun cotton singles that will become 3-ply 🤞🏻

No problem! Thanks for letting me know.

Would you mind sharing the pattern source, please?

It’s a serpentine rolag 🐍

Spinning cotton using dyed cotton punis. It took a bit to get the hang of drafting since some parts of the punis were very compact. I let go of aiming for a consistent yarn. Which made spinning cotton punis more joyful. #fiberarts #spinningcottonyarn #spinning #lendrum #cotton

The Nano 2.1 upgrade was soooo worthwhile!! The break tension and yarn take up is now a breeze to control, albeit nuanced. I will now enjoy spinning yarn with this wheel 🩷

I did not. I used the fast flyer on the middle whorl. Once I drafted the yarn, I held it for a count to build up twist before letting it on the bobbin. I lost control on the fastest whorl. But I do want to work up to the very fast flyer, which I just bought, after some more practice.

Try a nostepinne. I found a 3D printed one for $13 on Etsy www.etsy.com/listing/1561...

With practice and patience, it is actually possible to spin cotton on a Lendrum wheel. The natural green cotton fiber in the background shifts magically from beige to green with a little baking soda in the finishing wash. #spinningyarn #fiberarts #fiberart #handspunyarn

Lojan inkle loom, warped with green and grey #10 crochet cotton. Partially woven 10 card tablet band. Pattern design by John Mullarkey from Little Looms Summer 2021.

Band weaving is addictive. First time trying tablet/card weaving. Pattern by John Mullarkey.

Awwwwwwsome!!

Awww, thanks so much for the diagram!!!! You’re awesome!!!

The stitches look so much like the “fur” on a moth. What kind of stitch did you use?

I completely understand 🤣

An inkle loom with a partial woven band sits on top of a checkerboard pattern. A yellow belt shuttle is on the left of the loom with black yarn wrapped around the center.

I bought a #lojan Inkeltje #Inkle Loom and crochet cotton yarn for my birthday. The loom is smaller and more portable than my other loom. The pattern I’m #weaving is in the Lojan instructions.

They are stunning!
