Saori weaving is a type of free form weaving. I use a lot of my art yarns/chunky yarns in Saori style weaving. The first step of the process starts with washing and dyeing the fleece. After the wool has dried, it is carded into a batt.
The batt is spun into yarn.
I select warp threads and wind the warp.
The loom is dressed.
The cloth is woven.
The cloth is cut from the loom, washed, and fringe is tied.
A Saori scarf!
