Tying One On

I finally got into low gear and started on the loom, it does take a little coercing, but once I'm on the loom it's hard to stop. My Tia Eppie Archuleta said something like this..........I'll stay up all night 'till I get a piece : )

I decided to break up the tela (warp) on the 38" loom into two smaller weavings and a 5" band that will probably end up as coasters.

I also decided to show the steps I take to getting a piece, or two or three.

Step one: tie tela warp

each weaving has double string edges

to help mis-shaping

Step 1b: turn on some good music

Step 2: pick your colors

Step 3: make canillas, used in lanzadera for the solid parts, cadejos used for the design part, and butterfy used same as cadejo, but doesn't roll off the telar loom.

Step 3: start your weavings
