#louet loom

Almost at the end of the warp. Hand dyed warp of tencel, wool and bamboo with tencel and bamboo weft. A crêpe weave on 8 shafts, straight draw.

Threading up the floor loom 56 ends in and there’s a lot to go.

Hand-dyed tencel. It is a complicated draft and I am fully expecting to find errors when I begin to weave.

Sleying the reed on my Louet David. Linen warp 32epi

Crepe weave on linen warp 32epi spaced in the reed. Weft yarn as warp.

The cloth is off the loom and washed.

Tencel, wool and bamboo dip dyed warp. Tencel and bamboo Weft. Crêpe weave on 8 shafts from Oelsner, a book I have had since 1970 also available @handweaving.net. The cloth is more golden than appears here.

Desecrating my fine 32epi linen warp with dyes and ink.

British wool. Sett 24epi. #262 in the Strickler book - complicated draft but the treadling is relatively straightforward. I’ll be interested to see how it looks once it’s been wet finished.

Making some progress now the asthma has settled down. Same hand-dyed warp of tencel, wool and bamboo with a Weft of tencel and hand-dyed bamboo at every 8th pick.
