I'm Warped

No! I am not a weaver! I just borrowed a loom to use up some of the 4000 yards of cotton thread I seem to own. Yes, I do own a warping board, but it's normal duty is to hold boxing gloves and training mitts to help them air dry, or for winding huge skeins to dye self-striping yarn. Weavers have serious problems with yarn stashes, and bulky equipment that takes up way too much floor space. I'm technically reducing my yarn stash now, even though every square inch of floor space is currently occupied by this loom in my room. But once I'm done I'll have an extra square foot of shelf space! Here I am winding a warp while listening to Prairie Home Companion on my computer. It's wonderful background for a mundane but visually consuming project like warping.
This warp is for my stash consuming and very green project -- cotton napkins for daily use. If all goes well I might weave some linen cloth from my stash of 65 year old Irish linen yarn for some reenactment use before I give the loom back. Aren't the threads so pretty all neatly arranged like that? I can't wait to get it on the loom and feel the hypnotic rhythm of throwing the shuttle and beating the fabric. But no, I swear I'm not a weaver, and you can't make me be one.
