A 2-year break. Almost forgot the site existed. Mary has an Ashford 8-shaft table loom. After work, as a diversion, you can sit for half an hour and throw the shuttle through some more of the warp. The latest experiment has been two ‘weft-dominant’ designs to create table runners. By keeping the warp taut and deliberately slackening the weft you force the weft threads to hide the warp and to create a bold tapestry pattern. These are for the Hangjik tables.

This is remarkably like the kente cloth woven in Ghana!
