Thanks, that’s great. I have just added your blog to my favorites and will check daily. I am interested in following along with your e classes and also interested in the e books. I don’t mind downloading and printing myself. Such a great service.

dateline: Kodiak, Alaska — wow, I am locked away up here in the frozen north with no one really around to ask weaving questions. I’m thrilled to see your blog. I’m a seasoned weaver but lately I’ve been having problems breaking selvedge threads. I have been working on gamp project that is tensioned pretty tight but I’ve never had this problem before. What am I doing wrong. Just had to rethread the entire right selvedge because of all the broken warp threads, HELP
I want you to know, that my mother lives in New Hampshire and back a few years ago I loaded her in the car and said we’re going for a drive and we drove the 4 hours hours to Bath just so I could visit your store. It was great — Thanks Laurie Murdock

Halcyon has been my favorite yarn source for years- and a blog for weavers is just one more over the top. Looking forward to another weaving class/workshop this summer– unfortunately my schedule and the class schedule of late have not matched.

So thinks Mike

A great repair if you use wire heddles. How about the flat metal ones? A friend of mine gave me the idea of clipping the loop at the bottom and top of a flat metal heddle with a wire cutter. Then all you have to do it place the heddle where you want it and flip the metal that is now cut, over the bottom and top of the harness so it is just like the others and it will stay while you weave. It’s a little tricky but with practice you will get it. I have never had one fall off and have made many repairs this way. At the end of the weaving I remove the clipped heddle and save it just in case I make another mistake on a future weaving. I like that I am not wasting heddles.
