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 😂

I'm worried I've been forcing it too much; even after an oiling it's not completely smooth and keeps jamming (albeit less frequently)...hope I haven't done too much permanent damage to the gears! 😬

LOADS of sparkly dust!! That must be it... I've literally never oiled it ever🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Metal bobbin winder, winding lime green 8/2 cotton thread. Winder has a wooden handle.

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

Thank you! ♥️

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

I don't have any answers but I feel you on the alt text @bsky.app please could you let us add/edit alt text after posting in the future?

Also love your shuttles - where are they from?

The colours and proportions you've used are wonderful - they really sing. Would make drying dishes feel like a treat!

I'm really drawn to the one at the back-right especially!

Fabulous! 🍊🩷

Turquoise and orange 🤩

Thank you! Fingers crossed! 🤞

(and can always resort to dyepot if necessary! 🌈)

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

Brilliant!

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

Gah these colours are delicious! 🤤

👏👏👏

Amazing! Will do :)

Love this colour btw!

That's a brilliant idea - I did some rough googling but didn't think to check guild websites. The guild nearest to me only does in-person events I think (which is great!) but will check others. Thanks!

Or feel free to suggest any in a different timezone/day/time if that might be helpful for others!
