I have some of Iridescent Fibers painted warps hanging around and decided to see what I could come up with. The leaf pattern seemed a natural for a vineyard inspired painted warp. From Handweaving.net #79845 - 16 shaft twill #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving

This tartan was inspired by the "Spirit of Scotland " tartan but my colour selection was a bit off so I went with what I had on hand. 20/2 silk, 28 epi #weaversknot #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving

A peek at the new warp: blend of solid blues paired with "Autumn Chardonnay" painted warp by Iridescent Fibers, and featuring 16 shaft twill leaves. Perfect for a dreary fall day #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving

Finally had a day at home to make a start on this warp. 8/2 cottons; sett 24 epi. A mash-up of 16 shaft drafts 79912 threading and 34861 tie up. The count in all the stripes is the same... the illusion is done by the colours. #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaversknot

My first warp off my new Megado 90 "Maeve" and I beamed 7.5 yards for 6 towels. Some initial challenges as I tweaked parts and such but I did get 6 full towels and some small samples. 10/2 cottons; 28 epi

Check out Lofty Fiber's web page and look at 'Helping Hands'. That's what I'm using there and love them! Also there are options at Gingerlocks Handwovens for 3D printed aids too.

This is the companion "Making Waves" scarf to the previous lemongrass version. So, same warp, a treadling variation and a new weft colour of salmon or terracotta. A whole new look! #weaversknot #weaving #multi-shaftloomweaving

I fell in love with the rich autumnal colours of the Sherwood Forest painted cotton warp by Blazing Shuttles. I chose a rich elegant 12 shaft twill and used burgundy tencel weft. #55882 from Handweaving.net #weaversknot #multi-shaftloomweaving #weaving

Fought with rehanging my older compu-dobby for 2-3 days and now we're talking nicely to each other again. 12 shaft turned satin weave; 10/2 merc cotton and tencel weft. That's one repeat. #weaversknot #handwoven #multishaft-loomweaving #weaving

Thank you! These drafts are both 16 shaft and came from Handweaving. net They have LOTS of 8 shaft drafts too for a small subscription fee. Strickler's 8 shaft pattern book is very good too.
