Tri-Loom Weaving






















Thought I would share some picutres of a shawl done on my Tri-Loom. The yarn that I used was commercially spun wool. It took me roughly 10 hours start to finish to get this shawl done. I wanted it to be light and airy - so I didn't use a blucky yarn. The shawl that I have on the loom right now is a mohair/wool blend. I have been having a lot of difficuly bringing the yarn back over to the other side - so it is taking me a lot longer usual. Will try to get some pictures of the new shawl on the loom tomorrow.
I have been talking about starting a blog for a long time and finally just decided that I really needed to get one up. Especially since it sounds like my website won't be up for a while. (We are still working on pictures!) Anyway - this will give all of my BSC Enrichment students a chance to take a little look into what is going on here at the studio during the week and will I will be able to post any updates or additional info for my classes. I look forward to posting some pictures and getting more info up over the weekend. (Still working on those youtube videos for my current toothbrush rug class.) Hopefully they will be ready by Sunday!
