Lynne has been fascinated with Karen’s loom ever since her first visit to Tween Creeks. Â Today she mentioned that she would like to try her hand at weaving. Since the loom was warped, that was an easy wish to fulfill. Now after a brief tutorial on treadling for a simple twill and a few spindles full of calypso colored chenille yarn, she’s well on her way to completing a beautiful scarf. Thankfully she has made plans to extend her visit one more day…
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
As we begin venturing into Central London we explore Primrose Hill,the Victoria Memorial, the Gatti Ice House at the London Canal Museum, and the HMS Belfast with more adventures to follow.
HA!, had me confused until I learned “warped” meant something different when referring to the loom/weaving and not the wood it’s made of.
