These are pictures of what's on my looms January 1, 2019.
I am threading the AVL with a double weave project. You can see that I have taken the sandpaper breast beam and tension roller off the loom. Also removed, is the reed and the top that holds the reed in the beater. I then use a black stool to sit in the loom to reach the heddles easier. Another thing that makes threading easier is using the computer and Dobby to lift the shafts as I thread. My mistakes in threading have gotten so much better by doing this.
Warp:
The warp is Fuchsia/Mauve, Ming Blue/ Teal, Green, Yellow and White separated by Black.About half done, I should be weaving in a few days.
On the Harrisville Design Loom:
My Rainbow scarfs are on the HD 8 shaft loom. I am inspired to finish this warp because I need the 10 dent reed to use on the AVL. I have one more scarf to weave off on this warp.
I am enjoying weaving the bright colors of this warp. I have several drafts that I am using on this warp by just changing the treadling. I'll get a picture of all of them when they are off the loom.
It's a good start to the new year. I hemmed this scarf, threaded a few minutes and am now watching the Mummers Parade.
I hope you are enjoying your New Year day as well.
