I made this piece (3 x 7 ft) for my first open show and it received second place for the category “artistic expression- large”. I got dinged for technique (I’ve only been weaving with shafts for a couple months), but I’m so happy I placed.

Interlocking weft on crackle weave with up to 7 shuttles

Made these two hand towels today trying waffle weave by using a pickup stick for the first time on my RHL. The rainbow one is 2 over/2 under and the green and brown one is 1 over/1 under on the pick up stick.

They have yet to be washed and dried so it will be interesting to see how they shrink and full differently than just plain weave. I can already feel a difference in drape, the 2/2 is especially soft and pliable whereas the plain weave is much more stiff and the 1/1 is kind of in between

Peaches and cream cotton yarn, 8 dent heddle, Schacht Cricket 15" loom

Specs: 8/2 cotton, unmercerized, 20epi, 31.2in in the reed, 4S Spot Bronson pattern from the Handweaver's Pattern Directory. (The colours are a little off in the photo - it's kind of a forest green for the warp and a medium, mossy green for the weft.)

I'm asking early, since I've just started the weaving - I'm roughly a yard into a 10-yd warp. But when done, the plan is to cut the long warp into 3 panels and seam them together into a blanket. I'm also going to machine wash (cold) and gently tumble dry to get the cloth to tighten and plump up a little bit. My question is whether to cut, seam, and hem the blanket before the wash-and-dry process or after. Thanks for advice!

I picked up a used drawloom and with it came this huge pile of both short- and long-eye heddles. Once I get them sorted, what’s the best way to store them so this doesn’t happen again?

Was recently gifted a loom, am now struggling

Trying to do the second one, What does it mean to leave somthing 'unspanned'

(sorry if this post is bad cuz my brain is so fried rn(

I am considering buying a large tapestry loom, but the model doesn't have notches to hold the warp in place. How much harder does this make warping the loom? I have only have warped a frame loom with notches at the EPI I'm working at.
