2. Unwinding the wool roving from the shuttle before the next shot. (shot - sending the shuttle across, from one side of the weaving to the other, between the warp threads). |
 |
3. The shuttle flying!! |
 |
4. Easing the roving down, in the shed before laying in the colored pieces. (Shed - the space between the warp threads when the some of the shafts are separated by depressing the peddles). |
 |
5. Pulling apart dyed woolen fleece, before laying the different colors in the weaving to form the design. |
 |
6. The roving is set firmly
in place by pulling back the beater bar and changing the shafts with the
foot peddles. (threads change places - those that were up are now down and the reverse) . |
 |
7. Joining in roving from the next shuttle - when one shuttle, holding the wool roving, becomes empty, from weaving back and forth, I join in roving from a full shuttle by overlapping the roving, between the threads.. |
 |
8. Time to take a break! I release the tension on the warp threads and lay the shuttle on my work, in place for me to start again when I am ready. |
