What am I up to today? Well I know I have been quiet since the end of the farmer's market season last Tuesday but I'm racing against weather and time to get a woodworking project finished. Remember the grant I received? Well in all totaled along with personal money I had been saving I got: ( all in unfinished wood)
Weaving supplies:
3 new rigid heddle looms 10'', 16'', & a 32''
2 stands for the looms
15 new shuttles in 5 sizes (3 each size)
7 heddles per loom so 21 in total
A freedom roller ( this allows longer thicker cloth to be woven) and
A weaving bench
Spinning supplies:
A Kromski Minstrel spinning wheel ( bought in April)
3 extra regular bobbins
A jumbo flyer
3 jumbo bobbins
A great jumbo flyer
3 great jumbo bobbins
Spinning wheel chair
This will all allow me to spin any kind of yarn and from it weave any kind of cloth I can imagine. More importantly I now have extra rigid heddle looms and spinning wheels that I can now regularly Teach on! I'm currently sanding, staining, and sealing all this unfinished wood before winter. I am hoping to open classes sometime around Dec/ Jan after everything has been arranged. My color choices as black, purple and green so I hope they look good in the end.
If you're interested in weaving or spinning classes this winter please message or email me to find out more. As soon as I'm set up I'll announce all the details too so keep watching here for more!
Meanwhile, back to sanding and staining today 🥰
