Empty Barn Frame Loom and Dye Day Pictures!

As I arrived this morning, I noticed that the warp on the Barn frame loom was almost done, so I snapped a few pictures and was assuming that I would notice when Pat was cutting the warp off! However, Pat was already rolling the rug warp before I saw what was happening! There are 7 rugs in all and we are estimating that the warp was 15yards or so.

Mark and Judith are on the job! Mark is weaving placemats with checked fabric and Judith is weaving rugs on the Studio loom. I couldn't help noticing once again that on the rug loom one shed is warm colors and one is cool colors.

Karin wore many hats today, she helped me get the last of the dyed warps and wefts rinsed, she helped Marie get tags on the inventory that was ready to go upstairs and she and Mark helped me get the last of the Dorothy looms off of an upper shelf so that I could take it to the annex.

Now friends it is time for "Show and Tell"! Linda stole the show today, she saw and article in the latest Handwoven about using beads when you weave Leno Lace and she had to try it! She made a warp and did a sample scarf. Marie really had to break up the party that was happening around that scarf cause there was still a lot of show and tell to go!

Dana brought in the warp that her son had dyed on the last dye day and she had dyed the weft!

Kris too brought in ice dyed shirts and napkins that she had dyed as well and Jenny brought in the skeins of yarn that she had bucket dyed.

Shannon made a cute pillow from some fabric she had woven and Mark had another rug from his multi colored warp to show us!

That is all for today, tune in next week to see what we get into! Until then this is Tina, for all!
