Cast On, Warp of Possibility.

Back Roller Beamed

Winding a warp for my Saori Loom is always lots of fun. I love the way I can be completely free with my creativity. I selected some wool yarn from my stash and put them in a basket ready to make my warp. 

All the colours reminded me of happy days on the beach, looking closely at the rock pools, studying the sealife that lives in the warm shallows as the tide retreats.

It is a whole miniature world of beauty and mystery. When I started winding the warp I used "two threads in the hand" and mixed the different balls of yarn together in a random way. The hues and tones blended and became a gorgeous combination of woolly goodness!

So now I have a Warp of Possibility!

It is completely unique. It awaits - calling me to come and weave.

My inspiration comes from those little rock pools, my next selection of yarn for the weaving will again be taken from my stash.

Just think all this is within my loom room a place to escape, imagine and smile fondly at happy memories to help me through the cold January days in Lockdown.
