Now to figure out what to do with the rest of this weaving wool from my inherited stash… like the blue and brown, I’ve just finished, it’s not for garments but rather upholstery. It will probably be more cushion covers but in a different pattern this time …maybe some kind of randomised check/tartan.. 🧐
What do you think?

1.6 m x 55 cm off the loom with only a little bit off surplus yarn left on the shuttles (maybe for som band weaving). Took only two nights to weave 💪.
Sturdy pure wool fabric destined for cushion covers …maybe for sale, maybe just for us.
But first I need to soak the fabric (after I’ve gotten the cat off of it 😂)

Hey weavers, do you know where I can source really really really thin yarn? I want to weave things are like 48 epi or more for garment making and luddite street cred. I've found 60/2 silk yarn pretty easily, but I'm looking for cotton and wool (open to other natural fibers too) and thinking maybe there's some way to get textile industry deadstock yarn that would have been used with commercial air jet looms. I don't really know where to look and I feel like it's impossible for me to find anything on the internet at this point, so I'm hoping one of you wonderful people of the fediverse can help me. #weaving #weaver #weavers #yarn #textiles #textile #textileindustry
