liadethorneggeToday I did a couple of things I have been putting off for a month or more. We had a shire potluck, and the feast gear and garb I brought there has been languishing in bags and basket since then. I finally emptied the feast gear, washed and dried it properly and put it away - as well as going over the garb I had used and folded everything clean and put it back up into their storage boxes. I even started a wash which Ed finished.
And then I finally decided to re-sley the silk satin sampler to 16 ends per cm, which is the sett that accords with the thread diameter. We'll see if that sett will make a useable satin. Indeed the sampler at 25 epc was much more like a fabric I was envisioning. Anyway - since I went for 16 epc I am having to sley the ends two at a time in my 80/10 reed, which means it takes longer. I might have tried 5 ends per dent in a 30/10 reed, but I think 15 epc may be too far.

I got half the warp done before the working position became too uncomfortable to continue. More tomorrow.
