PIN weaving! I knew those little scrapes would be good for something.







Pin weaving- the perfect business card holder

Spent a very hot afternoon using scraps of wool to weave up a design for my business cards. The first one shrunk more than expected but the second one was perfect. I think you need to allow mor than 10 % shrinkage as the project gets bigger. I also changed the weft to a crochet cotton and this stopped the wool from getting stuck when combing it up for a tighter weaver.

Weaving Boot Camp

A few images of an intense week, with temperature over 40 degrees and no air conditioning. Shame on ANU for not providing appropriate working conditions for students.
