Last day of January 2012.... This month we focused on new fabric design and construction. The looms get "dressed" and "undressed" repeatedly as we change warp colors, draws (the order in which yarn is threaded through the heddles on the loom) and sett (how densely or loosely the warp threads are placed together.) Dressing the loom can be very tedious, especially when it's an all day process involving 500 different ends (threads) each threaded through an individual heddle on the loom. Good to have some help or at least some warm fur to keep me company!

February 22-26 American Craft Council Show, Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore MD
