All weaved up!
The end of a week of weaving has come too fast!
We learned how to tighten up the edges if they were drawing in too much…
…and how to weave a circle with spots in it!
This is where I stopped. There is a whole technique for dealing with the warps after the weaving comes off the frame, which I hope to remember when that step comes…
…but meanwhile the looms with weaving attached are being posted home!
Coriander and Arianell made the leftover yarns into skeins and butterflies…
…and went for an evening walk along the waterfront in Landskrona. Here they visited the statue of Selma Lagerlöff, who lived in this town for a few years.
What a wonderful place the Hemslöjden I Skåne is…a bright and cheerful workshop area, generous, dedicated and helpful staff, a situation convenient to the town centre and a very welcoming well-stocked shop. The dedication to preserving local and traditional crafts is so impressive especially as they have been doing so for over one hundred years. This is their website:
We are not really ready for the weaving to be over, and were very sorry to say goodbye to our wonderful teacher Mrs. Marianne Asp. But we are on to the last day of the tour which will consist of visits to nearby museums.
Bye for now!
Quimper Hittys 
I’m so happy for you that you were able to go on this wonderful journey.
Me too! It’s been really interesting in so many ways and I am very grateful.
Sounds like such a wonderful learning and exploring trip! Smart idea to send your loom etc. home via the postal service rather than have to move it about on the rest of your trip!
We are glad not to have to haul the frames around and fingers crossed 🤞🏽 that they arrive intact!
So enjoying seeing your Scandinavian adventures!
I love the idea of being able to keep your loom and finish the weaving at home. I am sure that will prompt you to finish it and probably to start another design because there will be no excuse! Your Hittys have been very helpful and I am glad they have enjoyed the sights too.
Yes, we were very lucky to be able to keep the weaving frames, and I really think that I will be inspired to finish the sampler and warp up the parrot!
what a wonderful week you have had I am so happy for you!!! Looking forward to the masterpieces you will create in the future.
Thanks! I am so happy that I got to come and experience this! I feel very fortunate!
