When to re-sley the reed

Life is short, right? So when is it necessary to re-sley the reed? What scenarios are really worth your time? These very pressing questions will be answered in today’s episode of A Handwoven Experience.

I firmly believe that weaving, just like life, isn’t going to be perfect. Therefore, we need a big picture view to determine where to spend our time and where to carry on. Check out episode 75 and let me know if you agree. Enjoy!
