(s)pooling?


Some random weftovers:


Some waiting to become cloth:


Making the next batch:


I like to make three at a time, making them when the fourth quill is begun, and a new treadling sequence is about to begin (with the reed adjusted and the warp advanced, of course).

... this warp is taking forever... but maybe it doesn't help that I do lots of "whatever takes me away from the loom"?

Kerstin,
What do you mount your bobbin winder to? Looks like some type of frame.

Yes, "some type" is correct - it is my "make-do-and-mend" spool rack, made from something I found - see a picture at "upcycled" (if link doesn't work, search "handling skeins")
This winder has a slightly too narrow gap - it can go on my folding demo loom, but will not fit on the loom(s) I would like it to... such is life?
(OTOH - most of my weaving is going on "at home", so a stationary winder is ok)

- maybe (*maybe*) I'll get to the museum soon, to look at (no, I mean for: to look *for*) the heddle pics... meanwhile: have fun!
