learning to wind a warp faster the SAORI way and threading it on the table with the Saori unique beaming threading holder class

 susie came and learned about winding warps the saori way then make her own ready made warps. this year she came to wind a long warp (12 yards )  16" wide in the reed . then threading her " inside set" (harnesses, and reed ) when she is done she takes her inside set home and will  pop it on her loom!

A day and a half of Saori weaving answering questions about saori looms trying on my saori garments

 Ashley recieved for her birthday a gift of saori classes while they were visiting from out of state.

She had questions about the loom models and weaving techniques 

the second day her family dropped in and her mom tried on my green coat too and loved it. she is a avid sewer and saori handwoven fabric is wonerful to create garments with.
