Last Tuesday I finished weaving the never-ending towels. We had a contest to guess how many towels were on the beam and I said that I would put all the correct guesses together and choose one person to get one of the towels. Well, there were only two correct guesses. The number of towels on

I\’ve been doing some live videos on my Facebook page and the last two have been about tying up the treadles on my loom. I put on a warp that is long enough for at least 6 kitchen towels and I want to do a different pattern on each towel. I warped the loom in

I just have a tiny bit to say about this today because I think it is a huge topic. But I\’m going to specifically talk about the sett for the scarf Spin and Weave Along that is going to begin on January 1. For the clothing fabrics I have been weaving I am purposely setting
