Notes

2016-06-22

Started and finished warping, 128 ends

2016-06-27

Started beaming, finished 28 June. Tried “crank and yank”, nervous to see how it turned out!

2016-11-06

Everything finished, started test weaving!

2016-12-04

I am weaving! The yarn is not filling up as much as I thought, but it might fluff up a little after washing. I am beating it somewhat firmly to get a sturdy fabric.

2017-02

Finished both the corriedale and bfl, now adding the Woolgatherings merino. YUMMY.

2017-05-13

Cut the first two off since the cloth beam was getting too full to weave.

2017-05-21

Edges machine sewn, waiting for input from mum and sis to what I could to with them :)

Started the last part with Iris patch during the week

2017-07

Finished the last part, quite short and definitely more compact (I really paid attention to beat it down). Needs end snipping and wet finishing.
