Part 2
We took an overnight ferry from Ancona to Split arriving early morning.
First view of Split from the ferry.
Peter is very impressed with the layout of the Split harbour. Very wide promenade area amongst the palms. Plenty of room for cafes and restaurants to have tables. Cruise boats, commercial activity to the south, protected area for small craft to the north and beyond that the big yachts tie up.
After nearly two weeks away from my looms Split Ethnographic Museum provided me with a much needed fibre fix.

Rug loom
Pedals
Much tying on has been done.
Sorry its out of focus. Leather straps go over the two shafts which are controlled by lams, rolling over the shaft, one up, one down.
