WEAVING PROGRESSION OF 4 NEW SAORI HATS AT THE STUDIO : SAORISANTACRUZ

I went on a hat weaving spree last week and warped and wove 4 new saori hats!

photos are not in chronological order

4 hats one warp. it all starts by winding a warp

why i love the 15 yard saori warping frame? it is free standing, no need for a table or wall! you can get the saori warping frame with the folding stand separatly, but the stand makes it even more usable. the stand allows you to adjust the height and the metal rail allow you to sit up close and wind and warp with interfering with a chair if you chose to do that.

the pegs slant outwards just enough to keep the warps on beautifully

it has eye hooks to do the thumb flip 5 at at a time with needing a warping paddle

maple wood YOU CAN WARP MUCH FASTER WITH THE SAORI WARPING FRAME
