Some sunday afternoon weaving, nearing the end of a wool warp. This will be my first table runner (by special request).

Nothing more inspiring!

Made by the Newcomb Loom Co.

An amazing find at the auction today, it even has a flying shuttle!!!!!!! The guys are figuring out how to get it all put back together.

A wool full moon

Just admiring today, the beauty of this machine.

Another photo of the newest yardage. Cotton and raw silk.

The chilies may be a beautiful red, but even with a mordant of soda ash…not much color resulted. Which is fine, it is a nice yellow-baige.

Dyeing with red chilis….
