1st attempt: Plain weave

I am so pleased! The lovely Jenny has very kindly loaned me an inkle loom!

I couldn't wait to get it set up - so I pulled out my cones of stranded cotton and starting warping the loom (wrapping the threads around it), but about halfway realised something didn't look right and I had soon realised I had been bringing the open / unheddled threads over the wrong peg.... so I started again! It went much quicker the 2nd time around.


Last night I made a start and seemed to get into a good rhythm straight away.... but time had crept up on me and I had to put it away. This afternoon I took it off the loom, with 1m of band approx 3/4 inch wide. I really can't wait to order a loom now!

Friendship wraps available now!

Image
As the title suggests I thought I would start selling the friendship wraps (bracelets) now whilst the removable wraps are being tested out for me... These are about 12 inches long - 1inch loop, 6 inch wrap, and 5 inches of tails to allow for different wrist sizes... They can be a flat wrap (like the bottom two) or spiral knot (like the middle - pink yellow and blue one) or a mixture (like the 2nd one down). I have a few colours available, but if you really want something you can't see let me know and I might be able to rustle up something different :-) Red Mid pink Dusky pink Electric blue  Orange Yellow Mid blue Purple Green  Obviously different screens will change the exact colour slightly, according to my screen these are fairly true to the actual colours Only £4 each - Let me know if you would like to order one - comment here, or send me an e-mail my.twisted.yarns@gmail.com Thanks for looking xXx
