I have plans for dyeing self-striping sock yarns this fall when I move back home. This is going to reqire a huge skeiner (and the space for it, hence the wait until fall/moving) to make skeins that are long enough for the lengthy color repeats needed to form stripes. I'm pretty excited about the prospect, and even more excited about moving. A double whammy of goodness!
That is neat. Space is at a premium around here, so I know the joy of getting some workspace set up. {Smile}
ReplyDeleteWhich is the yarn skeiner? I never met up with one, not even while we were most into weaving. {Smile}

The yarn skeiner is the dealie on the left in the photo. Totally vital when you want to re-skein yarn.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. I am looooving this new work area. Makes life just that much easier!
The skeiner is cool, I can't believe how expensive they are.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this whole debacle will end in me moving somewhere I can actually wear knitted goods. ;) Won't that be nice. <-- (totally a Princess Bride reference)

I couldn't believe it, either.
ReplyDeletePrincess Bride FTW!
That is a neat machine. {Smile} The few times we've had to re-skein, we just used hand to elbow. Of course, we never had to do this often. If we had, I'm sure the woodworker in Dad would have insisted on making something better. {SMILE} Dad swears he enjoyed making his loom more than he ever enjoyed weaving with it.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I may just have to adopt his loom someday.... {REALLY BIG GRIN, wink}

Weaving...I am tempted. Definitely. How many hobbies can one woman have?
ReplyDelete{look around} Um, one woman can have an awful lot of hobbies. At least I do, and I'm one woman! {REALLY BIG GRIN, wink}
