\"Close-up
Weaving the Blanka pillowcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the Swedish wool championships of 2016 I managed to win the auction of one of the silver medal fleeces, a Dalap\u00e4ls fleece from Solaengel’s<\/a> lamb Blanka. I asked a bit about how to best prepare it and I ended up dividing the fleece into two categories \u2013 one for the longer staples with undercoat softness\u00a0and overcoat lengths and one for a bit shorter staples. I spun the first category straight from the staple on a supported spindle into a strong 2-ply yar<\/a>n. The second category I carded and spun as a soft, thick singles yarn on my Navajo spindle<\/a>. I envisioned a woven pillowcase with the strong 2-ply as warp and the soft and thick singles as the weft.<\/p>\n

I dyed the warp into a blueish green and the weft a bit lighter. After dying, I warped my rigid heddle loom double with closed selvedges. When I warped, I noticed that the yarn had started to felt in the dyeing process and was very clingy. And that clinginess continued all through the weaving. Beating was a struggle, for every change of sheds and rolling back of the weave\u00a0I had to manually separate each warp thread. Lots of warp threads snapped (as did I) and \u00a0as I got closer to the end of the warp, the twin thread of the broken threads also got\u00a0loose.<\/p>\n

I did finish the pillowcase and I spent over 2 hours weaving in broken warp threads. I added a zipper and was unreasonably proud of my very own Blanka pillowcase.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

All of these problems might make a person give up and throw the whole project away. Had it been a knitting project I might have frogged it. But I had felt every fiber of this yarn in my hands and I knew the yarn by heart and I never thought of giving up. I just needed to find solutions to the bigger problems and have patience with the smaller ones. And I have learned so much from this project. I am a new weaver and learning by doing has been the headlines all through my new weaving career. And for every fault I see I know how that fault came about and what I learned from it. And I bring this knowledge into the next project.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

When I dyed for this project I had some Shetland in the dye as well and I will make another pillowcase (a non-Blanka pillowcase). The yarn is sleeker and hopefully the weaving will be easier.<\/p>\n

\"Close-up<\/p>\n

Until then, I will cuddle with my pretty pillow.<\/p>\n
