I'm having a blast with the mohair throw. Really.
The only troubles I'm having are 1. The lease sticks won't move (but Cowboy Magic and patience is helping with that), and I don't want to remove the lease sticks from the back of the warp - they give me a sense of security. 2. The quills don't always want to unwind in the shuttle, so I've resorted to pulling of a length of yarn before throwing the shuttle, especially when it's near then end of the yarn on the quill. 3. My shuttle is dropping through the warp far too often; but that's not the mohair's fault - it's the 45 inches across that's the challenge. The times the shuttle doesn't drop to the floor, I'm only getting it partway across the warp, and then I have to nudge it the rest of the way.
This pic shows the loom in anticipation.
I have finished my 8 inches of sampling, finally getting the 7 PPI I was after.
Would love to hear of your progress, too!
