Chicken art therapy
My chicken needed some bonding time so we spent the afternoon painting.
I started painting the day after she hatched, but I have a lot to learn.
Sorry about so many cuts. Working with such a young animal, we needed frequent breaks to see to the chicken's needs. They are very hungry at that stage of life and it's important to their growth and health that they can eat and drink frequently. Hopefully, they weren't too distracting.
Although the chick did eat of Prussian blue (my favourite colour too), she was fine after. I did look up the safety sheets for this brand before starting this adventure and the paints said they were non-toxic. It turns out they are mostly edible chalk and the pigme...

    My pegs have a two inch allowance per yard and I wound seven yards. After fulling I had 14.5 feet. Duh!!! Even the 2 ply worsted warp yarn gave up 7-8% in length. No breakage but some Dummy crossed his warp yarn. The knots couldn't be seen after the fulling.

  • @loganpollock1689
    @loganpollock1689 29 дней назад

    I have a 12 dent reed. I should have did 12 ends per inch but every calculation showed that 10 ends was correct. After the fulling, the 38 inch fabric became 32 inch fabric. Even my cotton towels shrank so when you hear hat wool shrinks, you believe it.

    It makes me wonder... most homes from my grandmother's or great-grandmothers' generation (in Québec Canada) would have their own sheep or would grow own flax and would weave their yarn (and linen?) on their big Leclerc or Heritage (or other) loom. But, most houses back then were heated with wood stoves, which tends to make your place very dry... I'm wondering how they managed to work this out.. 😮 bucket with water on the stove, perhaps?

    • @CrowingHen
      @CrowingHen 3 месяца назад

      Great question. It was a different time then. A time when housecoats were the norm - a very warm coat for wearing over your clothes. Fuel was too valuable to waste on heating the home - so if the woodstove/fire was going, there would be cooking. Usually boiled water. Accounts from that time are of people keeping ink in their inside pocket of the housecoat to stop it freezing in the winter and sleeping with the sourdough starter for the same reason. And people used to specialize. To be efferent at wool or linen production, it takes slightly different tools and techniques. Changing the tools to match the new fibre takes more time than weaving the cloth, so they avoided this whenever possible. A linen weaver would often set up their loom in a room with a dirt floor as this helped increase the moisture content. A wool weaver might not have the same needs.
