I'm in the wrong bubble, but boosting might help. 🙏 My wife is new to #weaving. After #spinning the on her #spinningwheel and coloring it herself, she spent much time #warping the #loom. And now it doesn't work as expected. 😩 The problem is, that the space between upper and lower warp thread (marked red in one of the photos) seems to be too small. The heddle pushes the lower thread up. See description in Alt-Text. We bought the loom second hand, and nobody here is an expert. Can anybody help?

From seed to yarn. What a special process. It’s easy to take for granted the amount of processing and labor required for even the most basic item you casually use in the course of your day. Consider toilet paper, for example 😂 I finished plying some yarn last night which is the end of my process—except now I’m considering using the yarn for #weaving. I’m not sure why it hadn’t occurred to me before because I collect woven textiles and love the craft. #FiberArts #Fibers #HandSpinning #Spinning

More flax processing tools. The left one is used for breaking the stalks around the fibers. Then there's various combs for refining the fibers. And a few for storing yarn once its spun on a spinning wheel. #Museum #Flax #Processing #Weaving #Spinning #Alanta #Craft
