We are almost ready to pass that first weft. Here is my latest project fresh off the warping board on the eft and wih heddles installed for Andean pebble weave on the right. I usually make my heddles in another color for no other reason than “it looks pretty” but, after spending a lot of time picking allthe orange fluff out of the blue tool bags i made a couple of weeks ago, I decided not to complicate things and just make the heddles this time in the same color as the body of the bag.
