Finished the preparation for the first weaving test of the new [old] Macomber loom - I'll have to think of a decent name for it/her/him? The goal is to use up all of the original merino/angora blend 3-ply that I have left over from my first spinning experiments when arriving in the US (several hundred yards).
Unfortunately I left the ball winder I have, in NZ and don't have a swift so converting skeins to warp needs an intermediate step of winding balls of wool.

The next challenge will be to see if I calculated the warp and weft correctly - as this is all I have left!
