Yay, weaving thread. And just in time for me to embark on a weaving project. I had recently come across carbonised bamboo and spun that up.. to be knitted into a shawl of sorts with neon coloured beads. Except, after spinning and plying, I realised that the best thing to do with the bamboo was to weave it into a scarf.. luckily, mum is a vast fountain of everything crafty and had a spare 4 shaft loom I'm currently borrowing (and was able to help me string the entire thing, as I would have failed miserably without help). Anyway, here is a picture of the bottom part of the scarf. The middle part has almost no beads in it as I figured that would add un-needed weight to the scarf.

Yep, well.. at least the first time on a 4shaft loom.. I had (as a child) played around with a kids weaving frame. I'm still having issues keeping the width of the woven part the same, I pull too hard on the thread  And I've come to the conclusion (less than half way) that I don't actually like weaving. It's boring (possibly due to lack of pattern) and I can't see the half-finished product and play with it, as you can with knitted things.

Amykinz, that looks impressive. And it looks quite a bit smaller than I thought it would (not weaving width wise, length wise). I've only ever seen floor looms that take up half/all of the room.

Finally finished the scarf that taught me that weaving is an acquired taste, which I don't have yet.  And a pic with black light shining against it.  The entire thing is going to an exhibition from our spinning/weaving group in May
