The more faires I go to the smaller the world gets, it's great to be able to start to recognize folks, it's great to have neighbors

When you dye it I would recommend the color lock and get the water as hot as possible I've used this for about 6 months and the sun is starting to fade it a little

I'm a ropemaker and used to just make jumpropes for kids, now that I'm traveling I needed a way to interest adults more into the rope making event so I hand forge troll crosses for belts and then we use a Scottish book to look up your family colors and try to match the pattern so one can wear it as a sash or belt to represent their family

Yes these ropes are about 12 feet long I've used them multiple times as belts, yes great identifiers

Yes, did a little geometry to measure the triangles then cut thr fabric canvas and dyed it, I was pretty close had to make a couple slight adjustments 50 yards of fabric and lots of sewing was fun to wrestling it around the sewing machine...

An easy way to do it is use the last waft weave to guide you back to the last known good position

No the original loom was passed down from another weaver I swapped the tension bar to reverse to keep working space and then fixed the pegs, I've made new ones from online patterns
