During my most recent weaving class, I learned how to set up a loom and completed my first textile. Here are some of the main stages of the process.
The Loom
very simple, consists of 4 wooden sticks, tied together
Dye
this one was made by boiling leaves and branches from Maqui, a native tree
Ovillando
this verb doesn't translate well into English, the best definition I can come up with is "winding yarn into a ball"
Tying off the Ends
El Tonón
the red piece of yarn, groups together every-other thread on the loom, which makes weaving a lot easier
Tononwe
wooden stick, used to criss-cross strings and secure each row of the textile
Crochet a Palillo, Knitting
