Birthday gift.


Back before lockdown Jane celebrated a birthday and with a gift of money she ordered and purchased a PAMPALOOM. It had to come from Argentina so she was relieved it arrived before international post was shut down.


It consists of two adjustable looms shaped to make a back and front of a waistcoat.Below you can see the back being woven.


Jane used knitting wool in two colours for both the warp and the weft. At the beginning of the weaving she deliberately let the warp threads cross over at random.This gives the striped effect you see as the cloth progresses.


When complete Jane crocheted around the edges to finish .


With her love of creating pattern and her enquiring mind we are sure she will begin to innovate.We look forward to seeing what she does next.
