2nd Weave

Quick update - I had another go on my makeshift backstrap set-up and managed a much tighter and neater weave


Following the advice  from Laverne Waddington (a very experienced backstrap weaver), I tried again but kept the heddle further away from where I was weaving and I used a single strand of the same red used for the outside edges of the warp. It's only if you look really closely that you can glimpse tiny parts of the weft exposed

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
