Here in working on tension, beating, and selveges. I'm using some yarn that was given to me. I made the small shuttles with my M1 Ultra laser.

I finally began weaving this plain weave cloth. It is part entry into weaving again and learning and maybe incorporating it into another piece of experimental art. We shall see. So far so good in spite of the lousy tension and several other mistakes in the prep. Learning from mistakes is what this is all about. The proof will be in the final washing and setting the weave.

The warp is wound onto the back beam and tied onto the front. I'm trying out a technique I learned from a video by Tammy Bast the Rogue Weaver where she wraps adjacent end threads around each other between bundles of threads when tying on (see picture 2 for a detail). Tammy is the Rogue Weaver.
