12 Days of Christmas: Day 5, more weaving

Day 5: After a very sociable day visiting friends and family, I got some more weaving done on the Double weave bag.

Double weave tubular bag. 

I stopped at this point as I need to wind on some more weft. I am using these warp ends and as they are fairly thin, I weave with 4 strands together.

 It takes me a bit of time to get the yarn unbraided and then wound on evenly onto the shuttle.


 The yarn came from a weaving studio somewhere via a friend. I need to ask her again where she got it. I don't even know if it is wool or what. I love the vibrant colours and as I am only a beginner I use what I have and see what I learn from it.

12 Days of Christmas: Day 4, some weaving.

Day 4: Friday 29th December 2017.
I got some weaving done, Double weave, on my Glimåkra Victoria table loom.
It took a bit of straightening to fix the warp that admittedly has been on the loom for probably about a year, gulp....
The magic of Double Weave is that you can weave an upper layer and a lower layer at the same time. Last year I wove a tubular piece closed at the lower end. It looks like that is what I am going to do this time too! I might add a flap at the top to this one.
Here is the progress on the latest one, so far.
