Off the loom and into the wash machine. #Beka #weaving #handwoven #Venne

Weaving the treadling pattern's mirror image on Marian Stubenitsky's "Unique Double Weave", page 10 of her book Max 8. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Venne

I recently started #weaving Marian Stubenitsky's Unique Double Weave pattern from her book Max 8. What a joy! Dinosaur pincushion for scale. #Venne #handwoven #Beka weefschool.nl/en/books/wea...

I had 70 threads to go - I finally finished threading all the heddles today. I'll begin to tackle the reed tomorrow. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Venne

20/2 cotton warp is wound on and I've begun threading. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Venne

Time for some loom maintenance on #Beka. I don't know if the worn out padding (top) was ever replaced. I cut up a furniture slider and am trying 2 combinations (bottom). I'll see how this works before gluing it in. #weaving #handwoven

Necessity is the mother of invention. A plastic mini basket and a spatula keep my 2 cones from having a tangled meet 'n' greet while warping 2 at a time. One of these days I'll make myself an 8-peg cone holder. #weaving #handwoven #Venne

This is Doug, my son's dog. He is 13 and has an aggressive form of cancer, so this is surely going to be his last Christmas. He is such a good boy! #blueskyartshow #holiday

Doubleweave is double-done. Now it goes into the wash. #handwoven #Beka #weaving

#BlueSkyArtShow Saturday November 8, 2025. #Evening

One runner woven and ready for hemstitching. #Handwoven #Beka #weaving

It's always fun for me to start seeing the back side of a woven piece. #weaving #Beka #handwoven

The doubleweave is coming along nicely. #handwoven #Beka #weaving

The loosely heart-shaped remains of a campfire. #glow #blueskyartshow

#BlueSkyArtShow #Relax

It's always a relief when you start weaving and the pattern looks like it should. Smile! #weaving #Beka #doubleweave #handwoven

I've wanted to weave the City Check double weave runner from Handwoven magazine for decades. I'm finally putting it on the loom. 120 more threads to go! #weaving #Beka #Handwoven

#pieces #blueskyartshow

Washed, hemmed, and ready to be used. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Brassard

Six towels, ready to finish. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Brassard

Playing loom chicken! I still have almost 2"— maybe even 3" if I cut the ties, right?! 😬😂 #Beka #weaving #loom #Brassard

Changed my treadle tie-up again for the third and final pattern on this warp. #handwoven #Weaving #Beka #Brassard

The pattern is showing up nicely. #Louet #loom #weaving #handwoven

All threaded, tied on, and started weaving on little Jane. #Louet #loom #weaving #handwoven

Woven undulating twill, 100% wool. #BlueSkyArtShow #Alternating #handwoven #weaving #Beka

This poor, lonely Louet Jane 50 looked positively despondent over being unemployed. I promised her that her her beech would warm and all eight harnesses would be thrumming once again under my hands. She decided to follow me home. 😃 #Louet #loom #weaving

Changed my treadle tie-up for pattern #2. #handwoven #Weaving #Beka #Brassard

Saturday #BlueSkyArtShow. Theme: #Vibrant. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #Brassard

#BlueSkyArtShow Theme: #underneath #weaving #handwoven #Beka

This is a fun weave! #handwoven #Weaving #Beka #Brassard

Windows, and the operating system. #handwoven #Weaving #Beka #Brassard

Getting my next warp on. Inspired by sunsets in the Sandia mountains, New Mexico. #weaving #Brassard #Beka #handwoven

The #BlueSkyArtShow theme today is #Lines @blueskyartshow.bsky.social #weaving #handwoven

Towels and scrub cloth are finished. This cotton/linen blend is so soft and absorbent. What to weave next?! #Beka #handwoven #weaving #JuniperMoon

When I need to take a break from weaving, I lift my treadle out of its slot to mark where I left off in my pattern. Share one of your favorite weaving tips in the comments! #weaving #beka #handwoven #JuniperMoon

Turned taquette towels have begun. 20 epi cottolin. #weaving #handwoven #Beka #JuniperMoon

Night-winding. #weaving #Beka

It's a warp-making day! #FiberFriday #weaving #cottolin

I taught Abigail how to make a warp at the Mill today. She picked it up quickly! #weaving

Giving weaving demonstrations at the Mill today. Such a lovely day! #weaving

I know I'll be using Euroflax 30/2 for future weaving projects. I created a color reference with corresponding RGB values to use when playing with drafts in my weaving software. Maybe you can use it, too feel free to download. #weaving #handwoven #Euroflax

Merino scarf, inspired by scenes in Cumbria. #weaving #handwoven #Beka

Four towels and a cloth all laundered and ready to gift to my daughter. These 4-shaft summer & winter pattern variations were fun to weave. I think I'll be warping an 8-shaft double weave next. #weaving #handwoven #Beka

Four cotton towels and a cloth, each with a slight pattern variation, hemmed and ready to go in the wash. They are 36" x 19.5 now, I wonder how much they'll shrink. #handwoven #weaving #Beka

Towel #3 of 5. I'm liking this color progression the best, so far. #weaving #handwoven #Beka

Test is looking good; I'm not seeing any threading errors. Time to start #weaving towels! #handwoven #Beka

I remove my loom's breast beam and the whole beater when I thread heddles — it's so much easier on my back. #weaving #Beka

Since I've already removed a few beams, it can't hurt to give #Beka a little maintenance time before I begin threading. She has a few screws loose. #weaving
