The Beauty of Shadow Weave
I love this fabric so much! The way the warp and weft optically blend into so many different colors in this four-color shadow weave pattern is just so visually pleasing. It’s a mix of a muted dark green and a vivid yellow-green in the warp, crossed with a muted maroon, and a bright icy blue
Cat tax
Is there anyone in/near Raleigh, NC with a baby mac I could come visit? I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on ordering one, but would really like to sit at one and make sure the ergonomics will work for me. photo of a recent project from my big mac that has been adopted by
Stunt Spinning
Finished four-ply cabled yarn from Alice’s Reflection Farm‘s fleece that I was spinning yesterday.

Strickler 728
I’m setting up to weave a couple shawls in Strickler’s 728, and just realized the threading doesn’t allow for tabby/plainweave to make a ground for hemstitching the ends. How do folks handle this? Draft included for reference.
