Made-to-order Moth Capes Discontinued
Moth Cape Design Catalog
Patterns for Moth Capes and Giant Velvet Worms are always available and I'm happy to troubleshoot!
As always, the rule is to be nice or you get blocked. Trans rights!
Loom is warped once again! I'm going for a big bag of scrappy sock yarn left over from various weaving projects, tied together with a lovely skein of pink-yellow toned hand dyed yarn.
I wasn't super thrilled with how the warp looked by itself, but I think the weft is tying things together beautifully. Still figuring out the precise right beat for this very fine yarn, I'm too spoiled by worsted acrylic.
Found a small bobbin of a leftover ply of handspun and decided to toss that in there. It's got a very slight sparkle that's looking lovely in there!
(It's the thicker green stripe in there, I think it's a blend of merino and firestar nylon. It's left over from what I call my Hot Topic colorway)
It's woven! I love weaving with sock yarn, this scarf is light as AIR
For now though, scarf soup
This weekend I spent $62 and got approximately $500 worth of luxury yarn. The thrift gods have SMILED upon me and I'm honestly overwhelmed I barely know where I want to start!!
Two skeins eight cakes and a dyed blank of sock yarn, two skeins of hand dyed merino/yak/silk, three skeins of handspun, five caked skeins of wool, two mystery chenille type skeins and three pretty acrylics. Plus a new shuttle. IM LOSING MY GOD DAMN MIND

I'm breaking the drum carder back out! This is a very confetti cake style batt.
The base is Cheviot wool that I prepped last fall, with recycled sari silk Bits and Bobs
Hang on??? I'm really good at making dice??? I think I kind of forgot that???
I'm taking out some old sets (like 2 or 3 years old) to finish and ink them for my upcoming sales and when I opened some of these boxes I audibly gasped
If all my old resin wasn't super expired I'd be inspired to kick up the old workstation right now

Weaving another band! Nonbinary colors!
#with the rings in the center i thought this was supposed to be intersex flag#but either way it looks stunning
@mystic-crafting
NOT ON PURPOSE BUT NOW I KNOW WHAT IM DOING NEXT
Weaving another band! Nonbinary colors!
I made another batch of keychains!
I've been confirmed for two small markets this summer, so I'm building up some stock. I wove these out of a very scratchy baby blanket I thrifted that nobody in their right mind today would give a baby. As a lanyard these things will wear like iron!
I do wish the pink contrasted a little more or the blue a little less, but alas.
Absolutely forever ago a friend with a wood shop made me a wavy shuttle, and I haven't used it yet! I threaded up a simple scarf to see if I can make something fun!
Findings so far: tighter tension is better than loose. Yarn with a lot of color changes looks best as weft with a plain warp.
Pass the yarn, then change sheds, then beat with the wavy shuttle, then pass another pick and repeat.
Should be a one-day weave, just a somewhat short and narrow scarf. I'll see if the pattern remains when it's washed!
The scarf is off the loom!
Definitely some odd tension, the edges are so much looser than the center. The parts where the warp yarn is more exposed almost seem to bubble out. I will definitely wash this before making a final judgement.
Hm ok! Some of the waviness definitely vanished in the wash, but there still is some. I think more research must be done here.

Time to spin! This is corriedale in the colorway Experiment from Mint Fiber Co
Ready to ply!
Yarn is spun and washed! I'd say it's about 375 yards, 2 ply, probably sport ish weight
