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!

Small, Medium and Large
Day 246: I'm afraid I don't have a "super-size" inkle loom to show you (that would be a floor model), but these three serve quite well to keep me busy. "Large" is the standard Ashford inkle and can make a band 110" in length. "Medium" is Ashford's Inklette, and holds 72". It's the one I dubbed "Inky-dinky Inkle," but that was before I got "Small," which I refer to as a "micro inkle." I can squeeze 39" out of it, but only because I have very small hands. It's a wonderful little travel loom. Most of the time, all three are in operation, however I just pulled a band off "Large" and haven't decided what to warp up next. I usually use heavier threads on it ("heavier" being 8/2 cotton). The warp on "Medium" is sewing thread with 10/2 cotton for the pattern threads, and the piece on "Small" is tatting cotton #40 with #20 for the pattern.
