Warped & Beamed

Painted silk warp on loomI beamed up this morning at warp speed -- compared to the last 20/2 silk warp I worked with, which was the warp from hell -- and I'm almost ready to start weaving. I'm just waiting for my dyed-last-night 2000 yard silk weft to dry.

I also just finished a second 350-yard skein of the merino/alpaca top plied with hand dyed silk hankies. I'll probably get a third 350-yard skein out of what I have left to spin up.

Enjoy the day...I know I will!
