7/8 of the lambs so far, with one more ewe on the way. The collective nursery is beyond delightful.

Hey, can we give up the obsession with selvedges? Nobody cared until the 20th century when it became an exercise in gate-keeping. Your energy is better focused elsewhere.

The passementerie loom is a brilliant study in efficiency and versatility.

Banner day yesterday with 17 inches woven. Only about a third of the daily output of Will Taylor, former owner of this Jacquard, but he had training in a proper workshop.

The punchcards are laced into a chain by hand with a pair of cotton cords.

Paper filled with patterns stitched together. The Abegg-Stiftung holds several 1640s napkins from the same workshop that produced the nautical napkin design punched into the new set of cards. There was once a tablecloth with the same borders, but like so much, it didn’t survive the Second World War.

I remain thoroughly enamored with this diaper even if I can only see it when I step away from the loom.

“The front wing of the harness…will have knit on it double the number of helves that each of the other wings have: and when drawing, there will be left out opposite the figures one heave to two threads drawn…” J. and R. Bronson, The Domestic Manufacturer’s Assistant, Utica, 1817.

After years of making knitted heddles I FINALLY have an opportunity to use them on my own looms. The big mystery with these heddles was squaring them with all of the pattern drafts that were woven using them, which require an uneven distribution of heddles on various leaves within the same space.

Andrea is a wonderful colleague here in Vermont, truly turning dirt into cloth in many different ways.

The journey of 1,000 warp ends begins with a single spool. Pin that up next to your “Hang in There” kitten poster. One of 21 spools of 25/1 linen to weave Silas Burton’s “A Beautiful 5 Shaft Diaper Draft,” recorded August 29, 1807.
