Exploring Multishaft Design by Bonnie Inouye

You can expand your ideas in profile drafting to 3 blocks of any 4 shaft structure - meaning that you can now design a 2-block pattern and add a solid background or add a third block to your

Roger Knapp has put one hundred 12-shaft weaving drafts on his website (https://www.rogerknapp.com/Weaving12/12shaftdrafts1-20.htm ). Doreen

Hi all, I have been mostly a stalker on this site up till this point. During the first wave of the pandemic I got this great idea to convert my 10 shaft Glimåkra into 12 shafts, but so far it has

Over a period of years, I wove many stoles for my husband and for many others on commission. Here are a couple of tips that will make it likely that the stole will be used. 1. Ask to see the

Sue With wool and wool/silk I’d prefer acid dyes and they set at a much higher heat (close to boiling). Is there a reason you don’t use

I have been following with interest the subject of setting batch-dyed yarns. I paint many of my warps which are mostly wools or wool/silk blends. Although we in New Zealand don't often have the

I’ve done direct application with MX in my basement on a plastic table with an electric radiator set to low under the table. The underside of the table warms very evenly. I first did this because

I would like to know what fibers you used and what was the sett used. We need to have one done by May 2022.

I have an Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 thermometer, which is the same model Carol used in class. It's not intended for use on humans. It's accuracy is ≥100°C±2% ≤100°C±2°C, so good enough for my

Thank you for sharing all that information Jane. Did you use the kind of infrared thermometer used for checking forehead temperature? Linda

Thank you Tien. Useful information! Linda

I'm currently creating dye samples using direct application and mini-full immersion techniques taught by Carol Soderlund. I repurposed my Brod and Taylor bread proofer for batching the samples.

Linda, if you’d like to email me directly it might be more efficient or we could do a phone call if that would help. Sent from liz's iPhone Www.aweaversway.com Instagram: Moncriefliz

In my experience it hasn’t been necessary. MX dyes when painted or low-water immersion dyed have set for me just fine at room temperature (65F and higher). They will set FASTER at higher

Thanks Denise. That seedling mat idea looks interesting. I was wondering about my warming drawer. The bread proofing setting is about 100 F. Has anyone used this for direct application/low water?

Linda, I'm talking about direct application. You're still using room temperature Urea water for mixing the dyes -- but, as I mentioned, the key is to cure the dyed yarn in a warm setting. Some people

Thank you! Thank you everyone for your help! I noticed a common theme..."hot water temperature". When I dug out my thermometer to check, my water temperature was well below 140, so I added more

I agree with Tien's suggestions. Sara Fort Wayne, IN
