Weaving

posted in: Uncategorized, Weaving | 0

I have two weaving projects going right now.  One is a very simple warp of 4 harness dish towels.  I wanted something quick to weave.  I found a simple draft in one of my Weaver’s Craft magazines.

The other weaving project I am working on is a multishaft twill sample from Bonnie Inouye’s book, “Exploring Multishaft Design.”  I love this book.  It is currently out of print, but the Author is working on a revised version.  The cloth in the photo below is a 16 harness plaited twill.

Chunky Handspun Art Yarn

I added some new handspuns to the stash!  The fibers are a mix of farm fresh Cormo and Wensleydale from my sheep along with a little silk and Angelina.  The  green/blue will most likely become weft for a Saori weaving project.  I plan on using the lavender one for a hat.

I am posting some photos of the most recent project to come off the Saori loom.  I wove 3 identical scarves on this one warp.  The warp is commercial yarn.  The weft is a mix of handspun and commercial yarn along with some tailspun Wensleydale locks.
