@FreeCAD software has been vital in helping me design and build my own weaving loom.

Planning out the parts and measurements. And designing parts for 3D printing. The project is making great progress.

Question for the #weaving bubble out there.

What do you do with loom waste?

Most of my projects so far were scarves, so the remaining warp yarn was turned into fringe for a good part. But today I finished a project and now quite a bit of yarn is sitting next to me.

I don't knit or crochet many plushies, so I don't need a lot of stuffing.

Cutting into short pieces and recycle it on the carding machine?

Or something completely different?

Throwing away?

It's really tricky to spread the word about events these days! I don't support corporate social media and you don't get read attention there anyway, mailing lists aren't what they once were, and this event wants to reach people across many patterny disciplines..

Any help spreading the word across all the strange pattern-obsessed communities much appreciated!

I am starting to get excited for Finish-or-Frog-Along running in September / October (FKA #FallFinishAlong, renamed to be more hemisphere-inclusive). I plan to host as for the last two years and I hope the Fediverse is engaged as ever! Open to crafters and makers of all kinds - anyone with works in progress (WIPs) to finish or mindfully decide to kill. Stay tuned for more! #FinishOrFrogAlong #knitting #spinning #crochet #weaving #quilting#CrossStitch#FiberArts @knitting @fiberarts
