Gretchen and Tara came for a mini Saori weaving retreat 2 days of weaving!
it happened be to Fat tuesday
Mardi Gras !!!!
First they choose yarns and wound a warp on the
Saori warping frames
Warps wound ...next to thread comfortably away from the looms with the saori
THREADING HOLDERS
Gretchen's first ever weaving experience !!!!! Her choices were happy and bright!
winding bobbins right on the loom with the saori built in bobbin winder.
Both used the
SAORI WX60 FOLDING LOOMS HERE gretchen is tall so she used the loom with the
SAORI HEIGHT EXTENDERS
beamed on Tara's taste for her warp was was subdued and traditional .
DAY 2 busily laughing and weaving !
Tara owns a large loom and was used to an electric bobbin winder so she used my
CLEMES AND CLEMES electronic BOBBIN WINDER . She was way impressed, she has a Schact electric bobbin winder and her schacht foot pedel gets hot and , it is noisy, and it lurches.
The CLEMES AND CLEMES has an electronic foot peddle ( the only company who makes an eletronic bobbin winder foot peddle not a a carbon based ), and it is smooth and a pure delight to use .
Both days lunch was so fun siting out side in the deck in the warm sun drinking Champagne that they had brought !
Gretchen's first ever weaving … her scarf is off the loom!!!
more hours spent weaving a runner for her living room coffee table next. on a
SAORI PREMADE WARP
Tara's wrap is done!!!
she loves it!!!!
Just what she wanted!
2 freinds, with very different tastes wove lovely pieces and loved there
SAORI SANTA CRUZ STUDIO mini retreat! Tara said " Jill we have made Gretchen a weaver!!!"

Ashford Sample It LOOM here to take home to keep weaving .WHAT a happy fun 2 days it was!
