This is the first time I tried huck lace with cotton. It doesn't show up well which is what I thought might happen. But the cloth itself turned out nicely!

Paper Catcher off of Warp Beam
Paper Catcher - as it unrolls from warp beam |
I inserted a dowel into holes that are above my treadle rod. As I wove and the paper started to unroll from the beamed warp, I started it around the dowel. This worked very well. Most of the time, the paper just rolled itself around the dowel with very little help from me. This is on a Toika Norjaana with a weaving width of about 34 1/2". On a wider loom, you could use a metal rod which comes in a longer length. This keeps the paper from unrolling all over the floor!

Spinners, Weavers, Fiber Artists in DeKalb Illinois area?
I would like to see if there are other fiber artists in the area who are interested in starting a casual-type guild, meeting once a month or so to spin, share projects, etc. Let me know if you are interested!
