Happy 35th anniversary to Loom!
(May 1990)
Have you ever seen the 5-minute demo presented at CES in Las Vegas in January 1990?

Das Fiber Life Festival fand Ende März auf der ikonischen Tianmu Plaza in 杭州 statt. Das Festival drehte sich um FIBER. Also ganz klassisch um Wolle, Garne, Stoffe, Spinnen, Weben ... aber auch um Themen wie Recycling, Kunst und Life-Balance.
Doch auch um Textilien als Metapher für das Miteinander-Verwoben-Sein und eine Gemeinschaft von Gleichgesinnten.
Finished this wrap a while ago but haven't been in a posting mood 'til now. This is 36 ends per inch in wool. The final length was a bit shy of two yards. I gave it to a friend who's helped me though some really difficult times recently, and it felt so good to give her a physical manifestation of my time, care, and attention.
I'm excited about weaving more fine fabric like this. Right now I'm setting up something thicker but still pretty fine, an Angora nylon blend at 24 epi. #textiles #weaver #weaving #fiberarts #wool #plainweave #loom
Fast fashion : Les lobby font la loi ? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj_2PVxkc6I
> La fast fashion est un important enjeu environnemental, économique et un danger pourla filière textile française, mais une loi pour la réguler est menacée. Aux côtés de Julia Faure, cofondatrice de la marque de vêtements éthiques Loom et coprésidente du Mouvement Impact France, on décrypte les enjeux, les blocages politiques et les solutions pour une filière plus responsable.
I think setting this up will take much longer than weaving it.
Dark charcoal wool 28/2 (I think)
36 epi
1080 warp ends
I’m interested in weaving fine cloth that would be nice for making garments with, so this is a step in that direction. I got the first 300 ends through the heddles today.

Each shuttle measures ~10" wide at the widest part, and 1.75" deep. The middle is slightly recessed to accommodate more thread, and the edge of the widest portion is tapered to allow it to wedge tightly against the weft. Sanded and sealed. Prices listed in the image.

The hearts for my winners are drying, and will be mailed out this week. I have some finished pieces that are ready for last-minute gifts. First up: weaving shuttles in different wood species! Why stick with the boring shuttles your loom came with when you can have a bougie one?
Loving how this one is coming together, thread variation and all! Pattern is an advancing twill variation. Muskox cashmere silk blend to try out a new fiber - feels so nice! #weaving #loom #fiberarts

I finally set up my gaming laptop for DOS gaming a couple of weeks ago.
Here two screens from "Loom" and "Comanche".
