Warping and Wefting!
Weaver's paradise
Weaving daily. Weaving nightly. Weaving, weaving, weaving.
I really don't want to waste my time researching about medals, which, to be honest, do not excite me all that much.
I would rather write a few sentences of random text as part of some 'stream of consciousness' (as Billy James might have said)
just to fluff out the body of the beast. Frankly, I have more important things to do than to spaff my time up the wall, so to speak.
However, the research on warps and wefts, etc. is clearly fascinating and a preferred topic of discussion.
Weaving advice
(click on image for a brief history of looms...)
Summary of weaving process
- Rear an alpaca
- Steal the alpaca's fleece via shearing
- Organise the yarn
- Create a woven fabric
- Examine the warp and admire the weft
- Combine the weft (or woof) to the warp
- The sub-woofer should always shimmer!
