Threading Waffles

Threading the heddles takes time, and many weavers dislike this part of weaving, but I really like it. I consider the project half done once I get the loom dressed. The actual weaving is the easy part.

I had camnesia and forgot to take pics of the fini I had camnesia and forgot to take pics of the finishing process. 😒 I finished weaving Tigertooth yesterday, cut it from the loom and fixed a few floats. Then I trimmed and twisted fringe for a couple hours and wet finished at 1am. It dried overnight, had a little photo shoot this morning and went off to the @weaversguildcincinnati guild house to go in the exhibit of member’s projects that will be on display for a couple months. I’m really happy with it, but probably won’t be wearing it till next year. @fiberopticyarns #rigidheddleweaving #rigidheddle #weaversofinstagram #cincymakers #cincyarts #cincinnati

The variegated Bengal and the Onyx solid are making a great color and weave effect. The Kashmir yarn from @fiberopticyarns is a dream to work with. #weaversofinstagram #rigidheddleweaving #rigidheddle #cincinnati #weavecincy #cincymakers

They need a wet finish, but I’m pretty sure they came out too large for the intended recipient. It’s a good thing I have a whole cone of the yarn.
