My wife’s new passion- Weaving!
I’m so excited that my wife has found a great new hobby! She’s been a bit slower to adopt some of the homesteading and rural living since I plucked her from the big city. I often here how there are too much bugs outside or just how hard and time consuming most things are to do.
She’s dabbled in painting, hydroponics and baking but those hobbies haven’t seamed to stick.
But so far she is really into weaving!
I’m told this is called a Rigid Heddle loom, and she went with the extra big one. This thing was expensive and imported from New Zealand of all places.
It seams to take quite a long time to get it all set up and stretch the yard along the long plain in what I believe is called the weft.
After this step is when I need to help, holding some tension while she wraps it all up nicely.
We’ve had this thing set up for just over a month now and she tries to spend a few hours nightly weaving away. It does seam very rhythmic and soothing, I can really see it being quite peaceful really.
Her second project was a few small section she tested out some different techniques. Some will be tea towels and others where given to the kids to use as little blankets for there stuffed animals. It’s so cute to see just how excited they were to have these.
Here’s a showcase of her completed projects.
Weaving is no joke for sure, it takes time and also forethought and dedication. What a great "old world" skill to have now days!! Great pics also, I must resteem!

That's great! I've just been informed that we have a miniature loom in the basement (!!!) I didn't even know about. It's not quite the time in our lives to blow the dust off it, but as my girls get bigger, they may be interested. @ironshield
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
whaaa?? whaooo she is amazin, that is soo great!! i'm a lil jelly this runs in my genes and i have no idea what to do. LOL
Is that a weaving pun?
Have her put some items up for STEEM, I'll be the first to bid! Cool stuff!
My wife @stryeyz will be quite jealous. We have been trying to figure out a good loom for her. She has a spinning wheel but the loom has seriously called her name. Later this year we will be dedicating more effort to finding one before winter hits.
I see what you did there!
