I tend to gravitate toward primitive types of fiber projects.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095923329228077680noreply@blogger.comBlogger254125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823742146942534488.post-7487061058211000432015-01-31T19:39:00.002-08:002015-01-31T19:39:29.730-08:00SWSG Sat Group Jan. <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Franco's Plucking Adventure

Hi all, I just plucked our FA senior blue buck who has been
over due for clipping. My lovely wife Tracy groomed him for
me with the blower so the wool would be nice and free from
tangles. I was going to clip him with scissors, but he kept
jumping off the coffee table and running down the hall.
I noticed the wool was pretty loose, so I tugged at little
locks of it and it came off in my fingers, leaving the new
coat intact. We sat for about an hour and a half. I would
let him loose every 15 or 20 minutes to take a little walk
on the sofa.
He looks great. He looks blue again! His new coat is about
1 1/2 inch long and is a nice blue color, not faded looking
like his old coat. And I have a brown grocery sack full of
blue angora to practice my drop spindle with!
Have a good day!

Hi, I think at least half of the breeders I've met clip the
bunnies. My goal the other night was to practice clipping a
bunny. But the bunny did not cooperate by sitting still.
So that's how I came to sit down and pluck it. It was helpful
that the bunny was in a complete molt and ready for plucking.
All in all the evening turned out well for me and for the bunny.
Have a good day!

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the buck was ready to be plucked.
And the new coat is really 1 1/2 inch, I took a measurement with a
steel pocket ruler, being the industrial geek type that I am.
I had a little pair of hair trimming scissors at the ready. I brought
the rabbit in the house because it's 90F degrees outside lately and I
didn't want to stand out there in the heat. So I haven't given up
the idea of clipping. I just wasn't successful on my first try.
Have a good day!

Shawl Weavers Song </div>
<div class="post-title">
</div>
<div class="content">
Here is a song I was taught in elementary school in late 1960s, Los Angeles Calif
when I was 10 or 11 years old. It was printed in
the district textbook for music so it was taught to everybody in the
city.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://filipinofolksongsatbp.blogspot.com/2011/10/cashmere-folk-song-shawl-weavers-song.html" target="_blank">http://filipinofolksongsatbp.blogspot.com/2011/10/cashmere-folk-song-shawl-weavers-song.html</a><br />
<br />
You can hear the melody at the website.<br />
<br />
Shawl Weaver's Song<br />
Cashmere Folk Song<br />
by Seymour Barnard<br />
Tempo: Allegretto<br />
<br />
Deftly, deftly, nimble fingers,<br />
Weave gold and azure strands.<br />
Hasten, hasten, he who lingers.<br />
Fly, firm and facile hands.<br />
<br />
Weave for mother's shoulder<br />
Shawls gay with glints of gold;<br />
For her when bent and older,<br />
Warm wool against the cold.<br />
<br />
Although I remember the second verse was something like<br />
Weave for the lady's shoulders<br />
Shawls gay with glints of gold<br />
When winter winds grow colder<br />
Warm wool against the cold.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's the name of that tune.<br />
Have a joyful day!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">*from rabbitgeek notes 1/4/09*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="highlight" style="font-size: large;">Beastly</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Barnyard alpaca yarn smell</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, I had a pound of alpaca that I was spinning and the first skein revealed a <span class="highlight">beastly</span>, barnyard smell when I washed it the first time. I asked on some fiber groups for help and many good replies came.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It seems alpacas like to roll in the dust, so that has to be dealt with.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wound up washing it all in lavender shampoo, but I have heard Dawn dish washing liquid is very good. I did not agitate the fiber, don't want it to felt, but carefully added water for keeping it hot and for rinsing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Using a mesh bag with a zipper of the kind for washing delicates was very helpful for handling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Repost from May 31 2006</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, here is an update on the <span class="highlight">beastly</span> skein of alpaca.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, thank you for all your prompt responses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought a bottle of Avalon Organic Lavender shampoo for two dollars at the discount store. The shampoo had a strong lavender smell at the store when I opened it, so I bought it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I put some hot water in a bucket, enough to cover the skein. I added the shampoo. I put the skein into the water. I put the bucket outside on the patio. I warmed the water again by adding a pot of almost boiling water to the bucket. 20 minutes later I added another pot of hot water.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I soaked like this for about an hour. I poured out the wash water and rinsed it many times with lukewarm water. A lot of muddy water came and went.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I hung up the skein to dry, I noticed the smell was mostly gone. Now it is damp and the smell is barely there. I hope this helps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">added 1/24/10</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The next batch of alpaca I washed before spinning. I was told previously I did not need to wash it, so I did not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm just surprised that I did not notice the smell spinning the alpaca fiber when it was dry. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And I'm glad I am not in the habit of licking my fingers when I spin. I
was told to never lick my fingers when spinning because of livestock
sanitation issues. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Always wash your hands afterward.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a good day!

On Sept 21 the SacramentoWeavers and Spinners Guild met at Arcade Library to show library visitors how to weave. Above I am making cardboard looms 5 inch x 10 inch using a paper cutter. I am cutting notches with a coping saw. I actually two hands when cutting but I am using one hand to work the camera. <br />

Above are some recent weaving projects completed by members of the Guild. The top right red piece is plain weave with some pick up pattern in the stripe. The top left is a blanket that was done in double weave to create a double wide cloth. The bottom is a scarf done in shibori style with some hand painted color. <br />

And here is the little handout distributed with the looms at the demo. It was a good day!<br />
<br />
You can usually follow our schedule on the Guild website<br />
http://www.sacweavespin.org/saturday <br />
<br />
We plan next to have a meetup at Lambtown in Dixon next week on Oct 5. We'll meet up at 11 a.m. near the food court, grab a table or two and share some lunch together. Then it'll be off to have some fun at Lambtown. <br />
<br />
As you may have noted, the Arcade Library had to cancel our meeting room
for October 12. We were able to secure the meeting room at the Davis
Public Library for October 19 from 10:00-1:00. <br />

Working on the leno details. Every so often I twist pairs of yarn. Since I can't find my pickup sticks I am using a ruler. <br />
<br />

As I finish the leno row I use the ruler to hold the shed open and push the shuttle through. <br />

Setting up the Cricket rigid heddle loom with this cone of yarn I found at the thrift shop for $3. The label says 3/13 Meadow Green, but does not show what kind of fiber. But let's just try it anyway. I found the yarn thickness is about 14 wraps to the inch so I am going to use the 12 epi heddle. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I am using a paper clip for threading through the heddle. I can't find my little clamps but by warping from chair to chair through the heddle I can proceed. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the ends at the warp beam. I tied the loops off the chair to the beam with string. I did groups of three loops.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I have one of the original design Cricket looms so the ratchet and pawl is on the inside of the frame. I want to be sure that I leave a few empty slots on the heddle at that side to avoid a lack of room to operate the heddle. Also be sure the warp beam stick is out of the way when winding.Notice the string wrapped around the bottom stick of the heddle. There is a string on each side to hold centered in frame to prevent the heddle from falling over during warping.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here I use a book bag on the carpet as a deadweight while winding the warp onto the warp beam. Since the warp is 8 inch wide, I can use 8-1/2 by 11 inch paper as warp separators. I write numbers on the papers so I know how many more sections I have to weave. I used 7 sheets for this piece, so about 77 inches.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I used some rope to tie the loom to the chair to stabilize it while I wind the warp onto the beam. You can see the white paper warp separators.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I added some tape to my paper clip hook handle to make it more comfortable. I cut the loops on the cloth beam side. Each slot has two threads. I pulled one thread from the slot and put it through the adjacent hole. Then move to the next slot and across the heddle. I notice the stick shuttle does not have small slot on it. I cut a small slot to hold the thread when I get close the end of the supply on the shuttle.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have to wrap this up. Here is the loom prepared. I have a couple of card strips and some white cotton yarn to start the weaving. On the other side of the heddle is a couple of sticks to help the warp stay lined up as it goes through the heddle. The stick shuttle has been wound on the side with a figure eight pattern. This keeps a low profile on the yarn bundle to get through the low sheds on the heddle. <br />
<br />
Next step is weaving!</div>

Janelle is working on upcycling materials. She is holding a basket she crocheted with medical tubing and plastic. It is sterile material that was stored past its shelf life and would end up in the landfill if she didn't do something with it. She also has a water bottle holder with strap that she made from video tape.<br />

In Ravelry, Sylva-Res posted the following link. I checked it out, it is safe and the file is awesome research paper with pictures. Go to the link and download from there:<br />

Hi, I´d like to share with you something about sprang in my country - The Czech Republic. Finally I finished a research PDF document about sprang. Because at the moment I have n´t got any personal blog or website, I placed it on my work website. Here is the link, where you can find it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.restaurovanikamen.cz/html/sprang.html">http://www.restaurovanikamen.cz/html/sprang.html</a><br />
<br />
This is all I´ve gathered about sprang in Czech lands until now. But I´m still searching.<br />
I know there are still some more old books and journal articles, but it is not easy to get to them. When I discover something else I´ll share it with you here.<br />
<br />
Hope that these information and pictures will be interesting and useful for you.<br />

Laverne travels have taken her from one end of South America to the other, from Chile to Ecuador. She describes differences in fiber uses of the Highlands (wool, llama, alpaca) and the Lowlands (cotton). She showed some of the differences in patterns. Patterns can be unique from village to village, and from country to country. Looms and equipment are variable. While Laverne is expert in backstrap weaving, she also showed us pictures of ground looms, vertical looms and others. <br />

Laverne had to sit in the back of church with her laptop plugged into the church projectors. Laverne speaks very clearly, and is adept at pronouncing the names of products, peoples and tribes in languages that reach back hundreds of years. When she speaks English she has a little trouble when her Australian accent gets in the way of her tongue.<br />
