As with all of us, it has been an odd and busy year. I cannot remember where I left off, but I will jump right back to weaving (and spinning).



My space is now back downstairs, everyone is still living/working from home so I am trying to make my space more permanent. The Oxaback Lilla will get a shaft draw attachment, the Overhead draw system on the Glimakra is semi in place.
I have been making wider pieces such as rugs and throws on the Glimakra and it seems a shame to designate such a large, functional loom to only drawloom weaving.
The jack loom is an 8/10 Wolf Pup. The warp is one of two, hand dyed linen/silk blends that I plan to weave on this loom.
The rep weave on the Glimakra is a slow weave. The warp is set with 2 ends per heddle at 45 ends per inch (90 epi single end). The shed has to be cleared frequently as the set is so dense despite using the counterbalance set up.


The warp on the Lilla is blue linen with chenille woven rosepath.
