I went ahead and wove off my samples and now I need to put another warp back on. I am tying on using my cross holder. I am using 8/2 cotton.

I need to get the paper work ready too. A couple of the students wanted to work on an eight shaft version of summer and winter, so I have prepared extra stuff for them. I came up with a seven shaft draft that should work.

For the main workshop I will be showing them some of the different ways to treadle four shaft summer and winter (single two-tie). If they understand what is going on with the four shafts, then moving onto eight or more shafts will be easier.

Ann, your samples are perfect choices for what a weaver can accomplish with 4 shaft S & W draft. Love to weave S & W, it is a sturdy and fun weaving pattern.
Thanks! Come on down, there is room for you.
Sure wish I could make the trip but barn painting is on the agenda - that is if it ever stops raining long enough to let me get a coat of paint on. Have fun!
