Stashbusting for Weavers (pt 1)

Hi Chris, after your front to back videos I decided to try it. Wow!!! So much easier for me. I can wind on solo without any hassle. Thank you!! You’ve made my weaving life better.

[@ActonCreative]

Oh, I'm so glad it was helpful!! Yay!!

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks Chris for the ideas. Can’t wait for part II. I’m going to check out your thumbs video.

[@ActonCreative]

It's my pleasure! I hope you find a few ideas for your next project!

Coasters would be a great way to use up tiny amounts of things

[@ActonCreative]

"When you're done with your six towels..." I felt like you were looking me right square in the eye when you said that! :LOL: Since I work primarily with 8/2 cotton, my stash seldom gets away from me. If I don't have enough of something to warp as a stripe on my floor loom, I put it on the rigid heddle or on the inkle. As for thrums, I "half-life" them. The longer ones come off the floor loom at about 5', enough for two towels on a rigid heddle. But unlike you, I usually call it quits there...and now you have me really curious. How in the world do you use up all those little six-inch thrums? If mine are 12" or so, they go in a bag to be crocheted into potholders, but six inches? This I gotta see!

[@ActonCreative]

I love your "half-life" idea!! Brilliant!!

This was good. I am looking forward to Part 2. I use the scraps of cloths as pot holders.

[@ActonCreative]

Nice! Great idea!

I love thrums. I run them through the carder and make more things to spin!!!

[@ActonCreative]

So smart!!

Pretty multi warp. This is similar to Saori style weaving..
