Warped

 Today I managed to warp both my looms.  The small one was easy after I dumped the first batch of warp that literally started disintegrating as I was trying to warp the loom.  The second try was much better.  I will finish the warping process tomorrow, by winding the yarn on to the rear beam.  Then threading the heddle.  Then tying the yarn in place.  Then weaving to finish a charity scarf.

The second loom was took 2 hours to partially warp.  I will probably finish that on Friday.  It took a whole cake off of Whoopee by Circulo Yarns to warp a shawl for me. That is 578 yard or 528 meters.    I was able to get 3 more cakes in my desired color at Grandmas Spinning Wheel.  The loom did not want to be warped and needed John’s attention a little over 1/2 way through the process.  The Shawl will be about 23 inches wide so I will need an extra set of hands to wind the yarn up on the rear beam.  

My small loom.   


Almost all of my larger loom.  You can see the difference between the 2 looms and why I will need help with the larger loom.  

In other news my eyes are doing great.  No issues following last year’s surgery.
