Guess I maybe didn't share my weaving a lot here, one of the current wips in one of the looms (yes, I have several).
It's gonna be a rug, finished length depends on how far the warp takes me but I hope that it will end up somewhere in the region of 120 cm as if it does I have a buyer for it.

Second day of shuttle throwing. Caution is out in the wind - no sample space taken as I am going for a top's worth of yardage. About 15.5" in the temple (ie width). Here's to hoping tabby + wool content keep threads flat(ish). #weaving #LouetSpringLoom #floorloom #handspun

Today I'm working with some rug weaving. Pattern is an enlarged rosepath (technically an overshot weave if you look at the pattern draft).
The pattern is done on 4 shafts and six treadles.
I have a small rowcounter to aid me in keeping track of my pattern picks.

Weaving a kitchen towel that is also Jamaica's national colours. This one is with a double boat shuttle.

Mercerized 2/10 cotton added in for a half basket structure on the KISS threading. Other threads are all 2/8 cotton. #weaving #handweaving #jamaica #floorloom

Weaving started! Yesterday was a rest day from the loom.

It is waste yarn at the front of the warp. My bench is Schacht's. As I feared it feels low. I'm getting used to the new feel. Yellow yarn is really yellow on a 24.5" wide warp! #weaving #LouetSpringLoom #floorloom #handweaving

Weaving being as it is, I had to rethread the pattern in the 2nd of 6 repeats. My brain being as it is made the same mistake 9 years ago.

It looks better now, and all threads wound were actually used.

Key difference is that 9 years ago, I didn't see that mistake. A weaver saw from my shared pic, and helped me learn. #weaving #FloorLoom

Good morning! I'm not saying that it is threaded correctly but that I was able to Labor Day weave set-up some more.

The beam and beater being out of the way for this (I warp back-to-front) made such a difference. I entered them all. #weaving #LouetSpringLoom #handweaving #FloorLoom @fiberarts
