Onto the last weaving project...

I can't believe I am nearing the end of my apprenticeship!  Today I planned and warped my last project. I am moving away form clothing fabric and making a blanket.  The blanket will have a linen warp with a wool weft.  This fabric is historically know as linsey woosley.  It will be great for summer and winter use and perfect to take to reenactments involving camping.  I am still choosing colors but, for now, the warp is natural linen.  My plan is to make it a solid color with two contrasting bands of color on each end.

Linen likes humidity..which was plentiful today.  

...earlier in the week I climbed a ladder to let out the heat and meet all the spiders.  

The finished warp!

The warp weighed 1 lbs 15 onces.  

...other happening here in VT have included beautiful sunsets and Justin's delicious strawberry rhubarb pie with ingredients straight from the garden topped with cream from the farm down the road.  It's going to be hard adjusting back to life in suburban NY...
