I said earlier I'd double checked and it's definitely Wednesday so clearly it's #WIPWednesday time.

Exciting #weaving news

>>The New Green Book

We are weaving every pattern in the classic A Handweaver's Pattern Book by Marguarite Porter Davidson, photographing them in colour and republishing the new version in 2026.<<

My latest woodworking project is a floor stand for our Ashford weaving loom. This project took about 8.2 bd-ft of 4/4 ash. It was mostly machine work on the band saw, table saw, jointer, planer, drill press, and sander. Finish was several coats of Watco Danish Oil ("Natural" color).

It's similar to the stand Ashford sells for their looms. It was fun refreshing my high school geometry and trigonometry to come up with the dimensions. Like the loom itself, the stand folds flat for transport or storage.

My finished stealth log cabin scarf (since I didn't use 2 solid yarns the pattern is somewhat obscured). I used wool yarns from @redhillfiber and also found my axe shawl pin there. I have yarn leftover so plan to crochet an ear warmer to coordinate.

Due to the linear nature of time, it is Wednesday again and due to What I Do Do on Wednesdays, it is #WIPWednesday again.

Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to direct warp my RHL with a "crammed" pattern (i.e., two strands through each slot and hole). Weirdly I can't find any videos on this?

It seems like I could just pull a loop through each slot and hole and then cut and tie on. OR I could pull two loops through each slot, cut, and sley by pulling two ends through the hole.

Am I missing something? Fellow weavers, what's our bat-signal to call for help? :)

I’m weaving more black fabric, this time an angora/nylon blend at 24 epi in 2/2 twill. The warp is about 33 inches wide in the reed at 800 ends.

I’m weaving this fabric to make another reproduction of the Skjoldehamn hood, this time following the original construction and fabric structure more closely than I have previously. I love these hoods and I think everyone needs one, so I want to make lots to give as gifts #experimentalarchaeology #twill #weaving #skjoldehamnhood #skjoldehamnfind #bogfashion #boghood
