#loom

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

I was kind of annoyed that the packers taped directly on the wood of my loom instead of wrapping it in furniture pads like professional packers have done in the past, but it looks like it all came off ok without damage. I put the stool together but not the rest of the #loom yet. maybe tomorrow. I did find a couple of pieces with damage, one I can fix myself and the other I'm unsure if I need to replace just yet but it's a $175 ratchet wheel. store.vavstuga.com/product/gli

#loom is so fucking awesome at recording demos. Trimming long pause and filling words were a lot of pain to do in a video editor before but loom just handles that so effortlessly. Goat.

🎬 Das Fiber Life Festival fand Ende März auf der ikonischen Tianmu Plaza in 杭州 statt. Das Festival drehte sich um FIBER. Also ganz klassisch um Wolle, Garne, Stoffe, Spinnen, Weben ... aber auch um Themen wie Recycling, Kunst und Life-Balance.

Doch auch um Textilien als Metapher für das Miteinander-Verwoben-Sein und eine Gemeinschaft von Gleichgesinnten.

Finished this wrap a while ago but haven't been in a posting mood 'til now. This is 36 ends per inch in wool. The final length was a bit shy of two yards. I gave it to a friend who's helped me though some really difficult times recently, and it felt so good to give her a physical manifestation of my time, care, and attention.

I'm excited about weaving more fine fabric like this. Right now I'm setting up something thicker but still pretty fine, an Angora nylon blend at 24 epi.

> La fast fashion est un important enjeu environnemental, économique et un danger pourla filière textile française, mais une loi pour la réguler est menacée. Aux côtés de Julia Faure, cofondatrice de la marque de vêtements éthiques Loom et coprésidente du Mouvement Impact France, on décrypte les enjeux, les blocages politiques et les solutions pour une filière plus responsable.

Now to figure out what to do with the rest of this weaving wool from my inherited stash… like the blue and brown, I’ve just finished, it’s not for garments but rather upholstery. It will probably be more cushion covers but in a different pattern this time …maybe some kind of randomised check/tartan.. 🧐
What do you think?

1.6 m x 55 cm off the loom with only a little bit off surplus yarn left on the shuttles (maybe for som band weaving). Took only two nights to weave 💪.
Sturdy pure wool fabric destined for cushion covers …maybe for sale, maybe just for us.
But first I need to soak the fabric (after I’ve gotten the cat off of it 😂)
