I thought I would just show you all what is currently on my loom (and probably will be for some time to come). For those who don't know, I'm the proud owner of a LeClerc Colonial. A huge floor loom, with a 60" shed and at the moment 4 shafts. All winter, it has sat patiently in my workshop waiting, complete with a linen rug warp for me to move back in.
Well, now that I have moved back, I have started the rug that I had planned last Autumn (as you can tell, I'm not one to rush things). I was looking for a way to use up all my "spare" fleece that is either too old or not suitable for what I now spin. So here we are. The Colours are a little 80's but the lavenders and greys seem to work very well together. I'm weaving 2" or so of each colour and breaking it up with bands of fleece, washed but that's about it. It's looking promising.
(Thanks to Freya for making me share).
I have managed to move back into my workshop over the Easter Weekend. And at the same time, I washed out all the yarn I've spun. So. To your right is the Northern Lights Project all washed up and once dry ready to knit.... Watch this space, I think I know what I shall do with it tee hee!
The yarn to your left is the Mama Mi, it has bloomed beautifully, and I shall look forward to starting my snood very soon. Right off for 10 min snooze and then back to the baby alpaca.
