Karla was the recipient of a gift certificate from her freind Ruth to the studio for a two day weave a scarf class and Antoinette is back to beam on her hat warp!
Karla had never woven before . With Saori weaving you sit down to a prewarped loom and in a few minutes your are weaving!

Antoinette started weaving and also finished weaving her hat durning class and took it home to braid.
Second day of classes

Weaving a new pair of Saori sandal straps for my SSeko sandals
wound a cottonlin yarn warp….
and set about to weave a new a set of straps two at a time on my piccolo loom.
off the loom!
I like to use
aglets on my straps for durability and ease of threading through the sandal loops
I have a special tool a aglet pliers ( very expensive ) that is not made anymore, to set them it does not flatten the aglets like regular pliers can .
I have worn them everyday ! soo comfortable to have soft handwoven straps

Lea came on her birthday to the studio for a suprise !!!! Shocked and Amazed at her new
Louet S10c spinning wheel her boy freinds mother arranged bought for her in advance ! SHE WAS SPEECHLESS!
And she has pretty much spun nonstop on it for a week now! good bye Ashford traditonal! LEA SAID YESTERDAY " Oh my gosh Jill, I can not tell you how much better this wheel is to spin on!It is so fast and easy no hooks so I can make boucle Art yarns , I am so happy"
It has quick release screws so it breaks down easily for travel! here she is at a meeting at Annable's house ( one of our members) happily spinning away!
