Preparing for our summer weave courses in Galicia, Spain

 

Preparando cursoa 500 pix9 de Julio 2013  !It´s really hot today in Galicia, north Spain!

We´re preparing Casa dos Artesans, our holiday cottage, for the first weave course of the summer.

Despite the heat our pupils will feel very comfortable here on the ground floor of Casa dos Artesans.

The building is traditionally built of stone and is slightly subterranean so keeps cool whatever the temperature outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something else that´s new this summer is our new weave shop devoted to everything weavery.  Here you can find Louet looms, weave books, baskets to hold your yarns or shuttles, and our own natural dyed wools plus linen yarn of different thicknesses.  Please call us before visiting to arrange a time that is mutually convenient (T.669 600 620).

Warping my loom for prototype textiles for Formex (Sweden) and Tent (London) Design Fairs

1. Winding the warp

Weaving prototype designs for my textile collection to be shown at Formex in Sweden and Tent Design Fair in London in August and September 2013 respectively.

 

And the actual designs?  Just wait and see!

2. Warp chain (keeps the long warp threads from tangling)

The yarn, a lovely 10/1 silk-wool singles yarn, twists slightly because it´s unbalanced, making it harder to thread.  But it´s been pretty easy otherwise.  I´m using it at 10hpc.

5. Sleying the reed to space the threads to get the weight, width and handle of fabric that the project requires.
