365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Leksand Loom
Day 178: I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Ed Stevens for offering me his original prototype Leksand loom. I have been waiting for him to finish refurbishing it for some time now, and today, he delivered it to my doorstep. He spent eight hours here, showing me how to warp it (rather differently from the bonker loom which it somewhat resembles) and then coaching me in the hand motions peculiar to its breed. There was more to learn than I had expected, and undoubtedly I'll need further instruction as there was simply too much to take in through a single session. I will add more details in future posts, but for now, I just want to perfect the basic technique. And to take a nap, a nice nap with Tippy who spent the entire day under the bed.
