Winding warps with my saori warping frame at Saori Santa Cruz Studio

 October came in hot but with cooler mornings!  I love weaving spinning and warping outside .I wound 4 warps in the month of september .  a warp week for the month,

I  use the Saori Kenzo table top system to make My own premade warps ,  I threaded one in my SAORI inside set and will store the others to thread later all beamed on in neat rolls!

 I wound this cotton warp  number 2 in greys and chartreuse 

my number 3 warp from september is in cool blues ,( first was in yellows last blog) cottons

 I adore my ASHFORD 6 CONE THREADING HOLDER HERE

 I can arrange my yarn gathering quickly wind a warp with out  hiccups  or catching and dragging yarns from  letting them roll around  on the floor getting  caught in irritating threading holders with those pig tail guides 

I take my light weight saori warping frame with folding stand here anywhere becaue it is free standing I do not need a wall to support it . 

 

it is fun  and fast to wind warps when you have the right equipment . 

My fourth and final warp from september is using my hand spun art yarns 

 here is my gathering  of  my handspun skeins I hand wound into balls

I will weave this warp into a throw. by sewing two sections together. I  have  super large inserted eye heddles I replaced my heddles on the saori loom with to accomidate my art yarns.

I sprinkle mohair yarns in between my art yarns . It adds a nice halo to my throws. and weavings
