Yarn Stash

Just arrived today. This is a typical order of my main cotton yarn that I weave my blankets with. This order is 52.5 lbs. of Natural Georgia Yarn.
This cotton was grown, ginned, spun, and plied in Georgia, USA. Each cone weighs 3.5 lbs.
Next step is to turn them into half pound hanks so that I can scour and bloom (shrink) the cotton in hot water.

WIP

Phase One. Off the loom, 45″x20yards (115cmX18m) of woven natural slub linen.
Phase Two. Soak the cloth in some home crafted soy milk.
Phase Three. Let the bonded cloth age.
Phase Four. Cut into two personal wraps or throws.
Final Phase. Finish one with sumi ink and other with red clay pigment.

WIP – Warping the Loom, Natural Linen Slub

I am dressing the loom for the next set of linen throws. As I winded the linen around the warp beam, I stretch the linen to keep as much tension on the threads as I am weaving. This process happen about a dozen times to warp 21 yards of yarn.
