Tablet Backstrap

Remember this warp? I thought about finishing it off and using it for samples, but thought it would be more fun if I had some help. E. was the first to get hands-on with a modified backstrap setup. N. and G. were next to have a turn. We didn’t have a good way to use clamps so the weaving took a little more coordination, as both weavers had to keep the warp under tension. Overall, the results were a success and I wish that I had kept track of the total number of weavers that participated in the project. I would love to do it again some time. The weaving also had three distinct sections of various length once the warp was finally cut and the cards removed, so I resorted to “drawing straws” and each girl received a length of weaving to take home. I suspect at least one weaving will be made into a headband or a toy scarf.
