The Weaver at the Window: Threads, light, and steady hands

Harriet Combe

There is a particular quiet that settles over a room when hands are busy and the light is just right. This is that quiet, stretched into a full afternoon: the pull of thread through warp, the small corrections that make a pattern true, the patience a loom demands and slowly repays. No plot to chase, no problem to solve, just the steady rhythm of making something by hand, one pass of the shuttle at a time.
