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!

Texture Stripes
Daisy stood empty for about an hour after I took the green "Cornerstones" off. I had already wound a warp for her next project, so it was simply a matter of mounting it and threading before I could start weaving. Or at least that was what I was anticipating. I was nearly done winding on when a small but impactful tornado passed through the remaining warp chain at high speed, tangling his feet in it and managing to escape after breaking only one thread. It was not the Cat-astrophe it might have been, but nevertheless, I threatened him with being turned into a Cat-ass-trophy, and it took the better part of half an hour to find both ends of the broken thread. But the crisis had passed, and by bedtime, I was weaving more towels to replenish my stock, this time in a simple textured stripe, using ends of cones and dye lots for the colour sections.
