It's that time again, Farmer's Market day is here! This week I'm sooo excited to see you all because I have a special treat of a demonstration for you all. This week from the Elk County Council on the Arts Grant program I received some new equipment. It's a more portable rigid heddle loom and I can now demo RHL weaving at the farmer's market. What's on the RHL today? A scarf that is made of my very own hand spun yarn from the beginning of the year. This is made to be a trade with another artist so I'm excited for her to see it done live today, maybe she'll even weave a few rows of it herself π.
The photos below are what I do to set up for the weaving process.
1) Assembly of the stand and loom. ( My cats Flint and Nephrite approve)
2) Set up my table and warping setup.
3) Get the client's chosen yarn out
4) Warp up the yarn. A complicated mathematical process to match the yardage I have, what I need and making everything work π
5) Doesn't it look so π pretty?
6) Ok we are now all tied on and spaced so let the weaving commence!
I'll see you all at the Ridgway PA Farmer's Market for the weaving finish line later today from 3:30-6 pm!
This scarf will be 6 inches wide by 85-ish inches long the yarn is an equivalent to a size 5 store yarn.
