Decks Are Cleared...

The warp is beamed. Here's the last of 40 sections winding onto the sectional beam:



And from the warping-wheel-eye view:



After I finished that, I had time before dinner to weave the last couple of inches of the second Pendleton selvedge rug that's on the Glimakra. Here I've finished weaving the selvedges, added a hem using the warp yarn doubled, and a header of waste rag strips, to keep everything in place until I can cut the rug off the loom, move it a couple of feet to the sewing machine, and zig-zag the hem edge.



The hem will be finished by attaching a strip of double-fold seam binding, turning the hem under twice, and stitching again. At least, that's the plan.

Hemming both rugs might have to wait for a while, because the reason today was deck-clearing day is that the jacquard is supposed to arrive tomorrow!

Stay tuned...............................
