Big Progress

Finally managed to work out the problems around the revolving box keep jamming. And the courage to try again. Watching 3 shuttles and keeping it all going is a challenge but managed a yard with only one shuttle jam. The experience is also there to move back to where the problem was and carry on.

Progress

Yesterday met up with Ruth Black to compare looms and share experiences, I can now pirn wind as a continuous process, mind you have to watch your fingers. Last week managed to get all three running.

And some more weaving completed, slow but sure.
