Small Family

In contrast to the busy bustling August meeting, September's gathering was a small family. The topic was woven gamps and Chris and Joan had both delved into their well-kept records for both notes and samples - twills, colours, colour-and-weave were all there. We decided the best gamps are those that have a definite colour 'frame' around each section. 

Show and tell was thin on the ground but Rose had three twill scarves, all woven on multicolour warps but with different weights of yarn in the wefts. This was achieved with a change of sett from 10 to 12 epi after the first one and beating VERY carefully for the third.

Also on display was the polychrome crackle weaving from the Guild loom which had been cut off last month. Chris had taken it home and dealt with the sort of "inconsistencies" that occur with 'have-a-go' projects. It scrubbed up very well and will be returning next meeting to be made into four bright and beautiful cushion covers.

NOTE:  
Next Weavers' meeting will be on 10 October - note change of date
