"Pull for the Shore, Sailor, Pull for the Shore!"....



....is what Erica chose to sing to accompany our hauling round of the finished area of weaving. The warp is so thick and heavy that it is very like sailing rope.
This is what I have accomplished so far (8" already wound round).


And some detail of the 14ply jute,
which twists so beautifully, creating lovely texture and a row of soumak insertion.
And my willing slaves, Erica and Diana, 'pulling for the shore'. Thanks girls.
