Yesterday I made a day of warping my loom.  This is some rayon chenille that I got a long time ago off Ebay that was a little difficult to warp.  I had a couple threads snap and while that wasn’t hard to fix, it was really time consuming and annoying.

The end result is totally worth it.  I’m really liking this loosely woven soft, velvety fabric.  It’s nice and wide, too.  I warped almost the entire width of the loom, the weaving width is 30 inches, and the warp started out at nine feet but I had to cut some length off, I’m hoping it will end up about seven or eight feet long with the fringe.

I haven’t had much time to weave since I warped the loom, I have maybe a foot or so done, but I’m happy with the progress so far.  I’ve been really dividing up my days and trying to squeeze as much stuff in as I can.  I’ve been spinning in the early afternoon, weaving in the evening and knitting on my work project at night.  Speaking of the work project, I really like it so far, the yarn is so soft and so pretty and the pattern is super easy and the whole thing is coming along really fast.

I got part of my KnitPicks order yesterday.  I got one of their new ball winders and some of the new Simply Cotton organic cotton yarn, which is really nice.  The ball winder works great and you can’t beat the price.  I’ll have more on my order later.
