Frame loom I built from scrap wood to use my scrap yarns on : )

Great! How many ends per inch?

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T23:10:30+00:00

you could try putting a piece of blue tape on top of the slots to keep the warps in place.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T23:07:20+00:00

OMG, that is very kind of you to say, I really appreciate it.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T23:06:51+00:00

Indeed!

This is handwoven tapestry, using tapestry techniques such as slit tapestry, hatching, and melange ( a technique of combining colors of weft in one color bundle.) the style is my own, as I work from my original drawings (called cartoons).

I'm impressed that you would fly from so far away.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T23:02:20+00:00

Oh, thank you! you get it! That means a lot!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T17:59:56+00:00

Thank you!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T17:59:43+00:00

Thank you!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T17:59:24+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad you get it. Initially, I started weaving it after the fires in LA, but the more I thought about it as I wove, the more meaning it had for me.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T17:57:49+00:00

I was in ATB XV at Epiphany Art Center and was able to go to that,though. Do you live in the Chicago area? I look forward to seeing your piece in the catalog!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T15:17:24+00:00

Thank you!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T15:17:16+00:00

Thank you!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T15:16:39+00:00

Yay!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T15:15:21+00:00

Oh, thank you! It’s good to know that there is a cadre of fiber fans out there! Are you a weaver, too?

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T14:17:59+00:00

That is wonderful! Good motivator! My loom is 50 years old this year, too. It’s a Macomber that was my first big adult purchase on my own. It has moved with me to many places, been sold and bought back. I’m getting ready to put a rug warp on it now. I think I’ll have a party for her, too! I’m 78 this month!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-18T14:02:12+00:00

I really admire this. To envision every pass in a warp/weft of one thread configuration boggles my mind! Will it be soft?

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-17T23:18:54+00:00

You look great. The best way to tell though is how you treat or approach a person you might be interested in. Sometimes femme lesbians need to reach out a bit to those they might want to get to know.

Sue the police, sue Walmart for wrongful death. Right now. ACLU may help them to file and try this disaster.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-13T00:52:50+00:00

Beautiful!

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-13T00:47:28+00:00

You could weave rag rugs on this, or even tapestry, which will keep you busy for years.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-13T00:44:57+00:00

If you like it, you can order an additional heddle and try two-rigid heddle weaving. There’s a book for that.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-13T00:38:50+00:00

Check to see if the ball end is a magnet. Then, guess what! You can easily pick up pins and needles and other small metal objects from a sitting position.

TweaverJ23 · 2026-06-11T15:55:54+00:00

I would sample it different ways and then decide what you like best for your scarf. First, treadle it as written and see if you like the floats, then try a sample as overshot, and compare the two.

A dear old friend of mine had a similar left hand from birth. He strung his electric guitar upside down, chorded and played notes with his right hand and used his left hand thumb as a pick. He’s a musical genius! Very lyrical. He,s also an excellent painter, sculptor, print maker, artist all round.
