Learning how to make a warp for weaving #weaving #warp

Thanks to @mervipasanen.bsky.social and @rikup.bsky.social I have a loom! Also with 4 cats it will be interesting.. #loom #weaving

Never alone. This is Papu, one of 4.

I cannot do crafts without the cat help. This is Pihka, one of 4.

I am currently making a version of Herjolfsnes 63 ☺️

Herjolfsnes dresses, which all appear as brown because of the soil conditions. All of them are burial finds of the same settlement

I think this is the perfect time to start posting about Greenland and the amazing textile Herjolfsnes finds, aye? Greenland is a district of Denmark and was settled by several distinct Inuit cultures in waves from c.2500 BCE to c.1200 CE, plus the Norse settlement late 10th-15th centuries. 🧵1/

Oh I did not know you were into chillies also! I once had 16 different species.. but then I switched to pelargonias (I have not counted how many but I think about 20 😅

I managed to squeeze in a bit of sewing to my day schedule that is quite full. My goal is to do crafts at least 30 minutes daily (not counting knitting that can be done during coffee breaks 😃). This is the Herjolfsnes 63 (based on 14th century findings from Greenland) I am making

Kiinnostava juttu – ja samalla nosto tutkimuksen ja tieteen olemuksesta ja merkityksestä. Aina ei ole pikavoittoja tai välittömiä tuloksia tarjolla. Ehkä vasta seuraavat tutkijapolvet pystyvät yhdistämään löydösten pisteet, ja syntyy kokonaisempi ymmärrys.

Today @mervipasanen.bsky.social helped me to cut and fix the sleeves for Herjolfsnes 63 for Joonas #14thcenturyclothing

Always such a fun thing to do 😅

Today was all about working with a Finnish Iron Age dress. I am trying to rescue Perniö dress which someone else has started years ago. Mervi was teaching patiently.

I have posted less and less in Fb during past years. I went to Threads but I didn’t like it much. I already like this so let’s see!
