Today, I shall mostly be unthreading and rethreading 288 silk threads, because I made a mistake. Whilst I think would be pretty much invisible to anyone else on the finished cloth, *I'll* know it's there. 😭 #weaversofig #weavingwoes https://www.instagram.com/p/B_RlFggnOpe/?igshid=1svt9qipe6xj9

Four wall hangings ready for the design seminar tomorrow. It's taken about seventeen metres of warp and several false starts to get to this point, though. 🙄 #loomlife #weavingwoes #weaversofig #textiledesign #PicassoProject #ThunderbugTextiles https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIRiT8Htir/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pqzlrggxm0yo

Testing the new warp for threading errors, and I've just realised I've used the wrong reed. 🤦‍♀️ #loomlife #weavingwoes #weaversofig #textiledesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bojbrz0HyYG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=44u99y9jv5fd

Yesterday was about experimentation with colour and texture, and I think we have a couple of definite winners. Particularly the more yellow of the two. Love a bit of yellow. Unfortunately, the intention was always to cut them up and turn them into pencil cases/ make-up bags and... argh! It's SO HARD!!! 😭😭😭 BUT! What is the point in weaving fabric if it won't be put to work, right? Right??? 😢😢😢 #loomlife #weaversofig #textiledesign #weavingwoes #ThunderbugTextiles https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYIhZYHycy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vh7599vluazs

TFW it's weaving perfectly, but then shaft 7 decides to be a little bitch for no good reason. 🤬 #weavingwoes #loomlife #weaversofig #textiledesign https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEGI2qnyGW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15v7gv708o1l4

This is one of the results of my loomnoodling (totally a word) from the other day. Christ, it took me SO LONG to reverse engineer so I could draft it for my technical file! 😩 #studentlife #weavingwoes #weaversofig

Hemstitch. So tiny. Eyes. Eyes dead. 😣 #weaving #weavingwoes
