Tapestry freed from loom

Finished the current four selvedge piece, and cut it off the loom. I steamed and pressed it, and it's resting. I think the fibers have to recover from being under tension. Well, don't we all.



Whole piece


Bit closer in

Exciting empty loom, ready for its next adventure.

I'm now two floors down, and forgot to measure, but I think the tapestry is 8×4 ins.

This was a learning curve and I now know a lot more about doing this. I have to do an improved jig, for one thing. But the tensioning mechanism is fine.




Meanwhile I've pulled colors for the two pieces to be worked on the Hokett loom. Not four selvedge this time. And not handspun, but embroidery floss. Shading will be a thing here.
