First attempt at card weaving

 As the inkle loom was empty I thought I'd try tablet weaving (after browsing a fair few websites and YouTube tutorials!) - I made a set of 12 cards and punched holes in the corners.

I decided to make the edge cards with 4 dark threads ("yarn and colours must have" in dark grey) and then 8 more cards with 2 dark threads and 2 light threads (a light minty green)

...and then I played!

stripes... 


diamonds... 

random... 

I think perhaps I will leave card-weaving for a while, I'll revisit it when i have had time time to find out more about different thread / cotton options etc through properly learning to Inkle weave - on my own loom, which will be hand made by a gentleman in Cornwall! 

I can't wait!

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

Just before Christnas I warped up my inkle loom following a tablet weaving diagram for a row of Christmas Trees - not really expecting to get it right... but I did! I can't find the link at the moment but I'll add it to this page when I can. Sara  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
