Day 6 through 9 of learning Andean Weaving through #franquemontuniversity. Continuing on with the first pattern that all Andean weavers learn Tanka Ch'oro. Upon comparing how I was doing back to the pattern section woven by a Junior weave I noticed my pattern elements were substantially longer. I've spent the next few sessions working on improving this aspect of the process and it's definitely looking better. As of today, I've got about 7.5 inches left but at some point, it'll get difficult to continue on with the pattern. Overall I'm feeling really good about my progress and have enjoyed all my time working on this. Background textile woven by Urbana Turpo Ccori of Sallac.

One of the projects I've been working on lately. This is 50/50 Camel/Silk spun long draw on Bumbles the Starling V1/V2. This is about 3 oz worth and there's about 5 more oz to go. The rolags were made on my @majacraft Fusion Engine drum carder. Due to the nature of the blend, I decided to apply the fiber directly to the drum in a light layer and then rolled it off with bamboo knitting needles. Upon writing up this post I just had a thought about how Bumbles is almost 3 years old and sure enough, Bumbles turns 3 on February 18th! #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #spinningyarn #handspun #handspinnersofinstagram #spinnersofinstagram #yarnspinnersofinstagram #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalusstarling #longdrawspinning

Day 4 and 5 of learning Andean Weaving through #franquemontuniversity. Before my 4th day of weaving, I unwove all prior days and left a small portion of Day 1 to see my visual progress from where I started. On Day 5 I wove a small amount of plain weave and then learned how to weave the first pattern that all Andean weavers learn Tanka Ch'oro. I'm having a blast with this whole process and everything is clicking really well for me. Spindles are from Paucartambo and the two with darker whorls are Chaj Chaj which have a captive ring on them that make a subtle sound as the spindle spins. The spindle bag was woven by Susana Inquillay Apaza from Sallac. The pattern sections are embroidered. The manta everything is laying on was woven by Christina Ylla Ccallisea from Chahuaytire. Both textiles are from @centro_textiles_cusco. #tankachoro #abbysyarns #andeanweaving #andeanbackstrap #backstrapweaving #weaversofinstagram #handweaving #weavingyarns #igweavers #handwoventextiles #weaversgonnaweave

Spun a little bit of my Green Gallery by @threewatersfarm on Magpie yesterday. I'm planning on squeezing on another two 4 oz braids after this one for a total of 28 oz of singles for this bobbin.

I've been working a little bit here and there on some of my spinning WIPs. This project is Wrong Frog on Cormo dyed by @longdrawjames of @ashenflock being spun on Danger Falcon. This bobbin is done and I've got 3 more bobbins to go. Background textile woven by Urbana Turpo Ccori of Sallac.

Last Thursday I started learning something new! I'm taking an Andean Backstrap Weaving class through @abbysyarns #franquemontuniversity. This is my first time exploring this area of weaving and so far I'm having a great time. The first few photos identify all the parts of the setup in Quechua. The photos after that are my progress over the course of 3 days. Patterned section and prior weaving were all done by one of the junior weavers involved with the creation of the weaving kits. Background information: The natural textile was woven by Urbana Turpo Ccori of Sallac. The blue and green textile was woven by Christina Ylla Ccallisea of Chahuaytire. Both were purchased through @centro_textiles_cusco. #abbysyarns #andeanweaving #andeanbackstrap #backstrapweaving #weaving #weaversofig #handweaversofinstagram #handwoven #weaversgonnaweave

I’ve been slowly easing myself back into working on things. My first project of the year was this. I started plying it about two weeks ago. This is Stained Glass by @spottedewefibers on Camel/Silk 50/50. I carded it up into rolags and spun long draw for TdF 2020 and 2021 on my Starling XL. This will be the last project I work on with this Starling V3 that I’ve been fostering for promo photos. We’ll be sorting out how we will rehome this pretty blue bird soon so I have room for my next promo Starling. Color to be revealed soon! The spindle spun/handwoven manta displayed was made by Christina Ylla Ccallisea of Chahuaytire.
