This has been ready to have the heddles threaded for about 3 days. I made a mess first time as my threading draft I did wrong. I missed out one small section and ended up at the other side with too many warp threads when I should have had none left.
Work was busy and I have learnt not to thread a complex draft late in the day. Always goes wrong.


Anyway, back to the loom. I thought to myself this morning, get the heddles threaded before work. Great! Then later on, it was heading towards 6 pm and I thought, enough work today, so I headed to the loom. And got it tied to the warp stick and started.
I needed to do one repeat, to at least ensure it was threaded correctly. Happy days, it is.

I’m looking forward to getting more added on Thursday, so I can see a larger section of repeats.
Stay tuned!
Oh, I also received some bulbs/roots for the garden today. I ordered online and purchased some Hedychium or Ginger. Anyway, I was expecting some root cuttings that would fit in my hand. Look at this!

It’s huge! The species is Hedychium gardnerianum and clearly I wasn’t reading when I added them to my basket. It’s a pack of three as well. 😆
Anyway, it’s can get to 2.4 metres in height. It has to grow in a tub and I need to cut the flower heads before it seeds. Seems it’s in the top 15 invasive weeds in a couple of countries. I wanted tropical!
But it does have an RHS Award of Merit, so I think I’m ok. I just need to buy a tub or three big enough to start them off.

That is some monstrous ginger. I’ll be interested to see how it does.

Me too! Imagine my surprise on opening the box.

Interestingly it does have some similarity to the sort of root ginger you buy for cooking. Should add a touch of exotic to your garden.
