PAPER WEAVING

"A beautiful example of a kindergarten exercise.
Intended to allow young children free range of play and expression.

This 26-panel paper weaving book shows a variety of patterns,
including one page with the makers initials and the date of creation.

This example is apparently American, from 1892, made by M. Kistler."

Found here.

From 8 to 16 shafts, have got some experiments to do :-)
Last picture: did some woolshopping today!

LET'S TRY SOME FUROSHIKI!

Furoshiki is a very unique yet quintessential Japanese
item that has been ingrained into Japanese life.
It’s second nature to most Japanese to use
a cloth like this in it’s various ways –
whereas to many foreigners this is a novel but slightly alien idea.
The beauty of the furoshiki is it’s versatility –
there are endless ways to use one, all you need is a bit of imagination.
And ofcourse: no waste of paper! :-)
