Annie's Towels!

I've been working.  I know.  I'm supposed to be retired.

but.  I love what I do and I'm back in the

swing of things.  I'm also doing Zumba.  WHAT!!

Yup.  Feeling energized.  And I'm figuring out

my horse.  Life is good.  

So anyway, I know it is Halloween but

I don't have any kids at home

and we live out in the back of

beyond.

Or as my BIL says...

"in the tundra."

or is it "on the tundra."  Oh well.

AND I have been craving candy all day

so I'm ignoring Halloween and

working on towels.

Here is the sequence if you want to bear with me.

 Designing the warp on the warping

reel.  

 Round and round building color...This is 15 yards

long and half the threads (210) needed for towels,

 Took off the first half and winding

the second half--another 210 threads.

 All tied off and ready to take to the loom.

Threads separated into the 21 inches wide

I need to begin winding on.

Looking down on the loom.

All 15 yards wound on and ready to thread.

Pulling each thread through the heddles in the order

I need.

 Done.

 Beginning to sley the reed...which just means to pull

the threads through the reed so I have the

width I need and the density I need.

 All tied on and ready to wind bobbins

and weave.

Loving this warp!

And, Annie, if you don't like these I can

make you another warp!  Plenty of time yet.

And yes, I can throw in a couple of

crayon colored towels!

Happy Halloween everyone!
