Load the Loom Its Christmas!!
Wow Christmas is just around the corner. When your main job is creating things, and your hubbys job is in the oil field, this year there will be a little more homemade presents!! I have recently learned to make my own yarn using a drop spindle. It is a really addictive, creative outlet for me. But what do I make with all this yarn?? I have 3 rigid heddle looms, and the were all warped up, so I finished up what was on them, changed to the 5 dent heddle, which I have never used! For those not sure what that is , it has bigger holes for thicker yarn! Much of the yarn I have made is quite lumpy and bumpy, using this let me use that yarn much easier! Oh and so much faster!! I think it took longer to warp the loom than it did to weave it because of course I had to do each warp a different strand of yarn!! I love the way it warped and even more the way in wove up! So now 3 Christmas presents are out of the way!!
