MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>I was a seamstress and costumer for decades but fibre arts was never something I got into. Now, most of my handmade crafts involve jewelry, clay, woodworking, painting, pyrography, ink making, incense and herbs, etc. <br>My daughter is the spinning and weaving person in the family and she teaches classes in the artisan shop she owns. Today I took one of her classes on weaving. This is my very first try. This photo is before it is washed, trimmed, blocked and the fringe tied. It took me 6 and a 1/2 hours from warping the loom to cutting it off. The yarn is acrylic because I didn't want to use expensive wool to learn. The next thing I will make is a thicker shawl and if I can find some alpaca wool, that would be my first choice. I will need to borrow one of her larger looms. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewSkill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewSkill</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prepping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/crafting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crafting</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/weaving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weaving</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAmInSoMuchTrouble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAmInSoMuchTrouble</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fibrearts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fibrearts</span></a></p>
