Winding on a new warp on the loom this evening. For a vintage, 70's era loom, this colour scheme must feel like déjà vu 😂 . #väv #vävning #handweaving #loom #8shaft #countermarche #merino #70saesthetic #burntorange #rust #terracotta #handwovenscarf #textilestudio #textiles #textiledesign #weaving

Weavers of Bluesky! My trusty bobbin winder has started skipping/jamming...is there anything I can do to adjust/fix it? 😭 #weaving #8shaft #4shaft #väv #vävning #handweaving #loom #loomweaving #oxberg #weave

I thought i was being wild for bringing my pants to hand sew at the auto shop while my car gets worked on but then a lady walked in after me and unpacked a full on table loom or something

Rhymes with Orange 🍊 Plotting some future woven scarf projects using awkward shades of orange I've purchased 😂 Possibly just trying to console myself that I haven't made a terrible error, that any colour can be beautiful in the right pairing #weaving #8shaft #colourtheory #juxtaposition #balance

Might put in some horizontal bands of orange with the weft for the next one, but for this one I thought I'd just stick with greens and see how it looks. Quite like this savoury/mid-century/old campervan upholstery vibe #teatowel #handwoven #väv #8shaft #stricklerincolor #weaving #slowhome #textiles

Can anyone recommend any regular online zoom textile 'work together in companionable silence' meetups? Ideally a weekday evening, in a UK-friendly timezone? If not, any interest in starting one? #textile #weaving #spinning #sewing #embroidery #felting #rigidheddle #loomweaving #inkleloom #inkle

Nice bit of sun coming through the studio windows this afternoon! 🌞 I moved studios/built this backyard loom shed in September so I'm curious to see what the summer light will be like (north facing) #weaving #textiles #textilestudio #8shaft

I learned to weave through Saturday morning classes at a local weavers' guild when I was a teenager. See image for vibe 😂 If anyone has any information about this illustration please share! According to Pinterest it's from Milan #weaving #medieval #multishaft

Ooh this is quite addictive! Thank you @woodmungler.bsky.social for my gorgeous new wooden heddle! I'm hoping by the end of this warp my edges will be more even 😂 but it's exciting to feel like a beginner! #rigidheddle #woodenheddle #backstrapweaving #weaving #woodcarving

Phew! Now the fun begins! 🌈🧵 #weaving #8shaft #stricklerincolour

Ends all tied together! Time to detangle and wind on (tomorrow!) 🥱🌜 #weaving #8shaft #studiodog #floorloom #countermarche #winchester #hampshire

I bought some weaving yarn online that turned out a bit more 'electric salmon' in real life than I had anticipated. May have found some colour scheme inspo this evening to make it work! Oil paintings by Friedrich Koko Micoletzky (Austrian/Czech,1887-1981)

Something very exciting came in the post this week! 📫 #weaving #krokbragd

@hjdoda.bsky.social This could totally be expanded to be a full-length book - a melodramatic follow-on to #keepmewarmonenight. I get the impression that Black, Mackley, and some of the VIP weavers of the last century are on the record as being a sassy! #weaving www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

#inkleloom weavers of BlueSky...can you tell if this loom is missing any key pegs? I've found this floor inkle loom on eBay, but haven't done any inkle loom weaving since...errr...2001 when I first learned to weave. But I'm feeling called to it 😂 #weaving #inkle #loom

Ahhh...Friday! 😀 Here are some photos from last spring of my halvdräll warp. Table runners, wallhangings and yardage for bags/tool rolls. It was a hectic summer of moving studios and building my new studio in the back of the garden, so haven't done anything with this fabric yet! 😬 #weaving #8shaft

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

I haven't actually been using my @StudioHelde IG account for very long, so I've just ⬇️loaded all my posts (Insget app). I'll start posting them here to start a little archive. Looking forward to being rid of Meta entirely soon. There are so many #weaving / artist accounts I will really miss. Sigh.

#Weavers of Bluesky! I think I can squeeze another dinky #loom into my studio. I'm thinking jack loom - either Harrisville 22", a Leclerc Compact or a Schacht Baby Wolf. I'm not able to try any of these looms in person first. What are your experiences/preferences/things to look out for?

Midway point! #warp #warpingboard #twill #weaving #weave #handweaving #textiles #textiledesign #multishaftweaving #8shaft

Our reaction to the Chancellor’s speech on Wednesday🗣️: "If the Chancellor wants to drive economic growth, she must also prioritise a healthy, resilient and thriving natural world. Clean water, healthy ecosystems and a stable climate are vital for sustainable growth.”

I'm not allowed to do any weaving this week until I finish my tax return, so in the meantime here's some older weaving photos from a few months ago when I was weaving halvdräll in my old studio! #weaving #weaver #handweaving #8shaft #halvdrall #halvdräll #textiledesign

The next few days are all going to be about processing a huge collection of books on fashion, textiles and costume...

I'm a #handweaver working from a little wooden studio at the back of my garden in #Winchester, UK. I weave textiles for the home and body on a vintage, 8-shaft countermarch loom using natural fibres only. Please say hello and follow if you're a #weaver too or general #textile enthusiast! #weaving
