More weaving, new yarn shop

I am continuing to make progress on my latest tablet project.


The end is in sight!  Tonight I have made it around the bar below the counter (small purple thing on the top peg).  I've had far fewer errors - in fact, no unweaving in the last day or so (hope I didn't just jinx myself!)

Next week I should be picking this up!  Very exciting!


This is a 10-harness, 12 treadle Macomber loom!  My absolute favorite loom makers!  I know it comes with several reeds, a sectional back beam, and a spool rack.  I don't know what else, but I can't wait to go get this!

And today we were out gallivanting a bit, and stopped by a new yarn shop in (a nearby) town.  This is Merrimack Yarns, in Georgetown, MA.  It was opened by the same people who run Coveted Yarn in Gloucester, which I love.


I picked up a sweater pattern for a child's cardigan, along with yarns to do it in shades of blue and gray for the grandson.  Also a skein of Albina yarn - super soft and fuzzy!
