Escape
I have escaped to John O’Groats for the weekend, for a craft retreat. It’s part work, part weekend away with an amazing group of women and in between selling yarn and fibre and teaching a mini loom workshop, I have been repairing skipped threads and twizzling tassels.

Apologies, the blogging has dropped off a little, due to juggling so many balls. It’s now less than a month until everything needs to be finished and anything that could go wrong seems to have done. I won’t bore you with it all, but I’ll give you some advice for free: when you are winding two singles off at once for a warp, then realise you’ve wound 4 threads too much and you decide to be economical and keep the yarn, don’t wind it round a cone and use it later in the next warp – because it will be more than double the amount of twisted that the rest of the warp is and at some point when you are winding it on in the weaving process, it will tangle behind the heddles, not be able to be pulled through, and snap.
