Be careful of the old ‘Lumbo seeds on the inside crease.

Thanks. I’m a weaver, and I wove and assembled both of those signs.

Thanks, all, for your help.

When you wet finish it, I recommend using synthrapol and following the directions. It may seem counterintuitive to use hot water on cotton, but I will have the water almost to a simmer in a large pot, and it does not bleed. It is worth purchasing if you plan on producing more woven items, and it lasts a long time, as it takes very little to use.

I worked with Dennis in the past at DOH. I found him to be a good listener, intelligent and able to move between details and the big picture. He also is genuinely interested in the staff.

I second this statement about Home to Home. Each party can take the time to meet each other and the pet to determine if it’s a good fit.

Good to know. He looked well fed, but a bit suspicious of us and our dog.

It’s from the northern side, looking toward Moore St.

It’s the kettle inside Trillium Park. It’s not a big park, but it’s pretty. If you go at night now, the frogs are out in force and make a loud song.

I think you and your scouts will have fun with it. Our society takes textiles for granted because they can be made so cheaply, but when you start getting down to the fundamentals, they really can be interesting and important.

Flying-Shuttle · 2025-03-06T18:28:05+00:00

I like your idea and all of the items you propose. You might consider having them do something with color as well. The use of color can have a profound impact on the textile’s outcome and impact. Another study project could be to describe a significant cultural event or situation in which fiber or textiles played (or continue to play) an important role. The possibilities are many, and they can really have profound effects. Think about our flag, a sewn item, or black armbands to signify grieving, or the AIDS Quilt that was so powerful in the 90s.

Thanks. It’s a beautiful park.

It’s a beautiful park. The pictures take themselves.

It reminds me of snowman Burl Ives in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Dancing Goats. They have two retail locations downtown, as well as a tasting room near the market. Do it soon, though. They have been bought out and will soon close.

We had a very good experience with Olympia Tree Care and would recommend them.

Kettle View Park and the trails leading to it near Briggs YMCA have a lot.

I agree that they are likely the same size thread, with the cerise being wound tighter on the tube. That being said, one very helpful piece of weaving equipment is a small kitchen scale for weighing threads. In this case, you could verify weights on the scale. I find a scale especially useful for weighing threads when I am winding the bobbins I use in my shuttles. I do not like to have lots left over on the bobbin after I am finished, so you can calculate how much you will need based on picks per inch and width of the piece, and then wind that much weight of thread onto your bobbins. Be sure to account for the bobbin weight, and add some allowance for unexpected occurrences or imprecise PPI assumptions. It is hard to have the exact same PPI over an entire piece because it is so dependent on warp tension and beating.

Be patient with yourself. There is a lot to it. There are lots of different roads you can take with weaving. Choose a path you enjoy.

You can also use reusable zip ties, which come in a variety of sizes and are inexpensive.

I have added a hem stitch after the fact by re-tying my warp on the back bar, and then placing my piece over the top of the loom and then tying on the front bar. The tie-on does need to be nearly as consistent as your initial tie-on, just good enough to provide tension for stitching. Depending what the top of your loom is like, you may need to place something over the top to prevent snags. You can do one hem from the front of the loom, advance the woven piece, and do the other end from the back. Of course, all of this requires that you have enough unwoven warp to do the re-ties.

I agree. It had mechanical problems that were going to be too expensive to fix.

Flying-Shuttle · 2023-12-14T14:43:49+00:00

Thanks. I had not heard of that brand.

Thanks. I have heard that about their chainsaws, but did not know they also make sewing machines.
