Notes

The store sample was so nice, I tried to make one like it. LOVE this wool so much.

I have a serious problem when I weave though, where a few of the strings in the weft will ‘all of a sudden’ become inches shorter than all the others and so tight. Gets tighter with each advance. It happened on this project and I was able to insert a dowel in a way that tightened the strings that were ok, to make them as tight as the 4 that were whack. That helped me to complete the project, and it looks nice, BUT I’ve had this happen on every project so I must be doing something wrong every time. I have no idea what it is. Makes for a lot of stress and undoing things to add in more yarn to the ones that are too tight - Not fun. I need to do some research on this and find a way to correct it. I’m hopeful!!
