Finally, some weaving

A small project but one that will be useful in three ways. I had a narrow fine wool warp on the loom for samples. One of the tasks I have this year is to talk to the weavers' group about advancing twill, so threaded up for a "frost crystal" pattern to demonstrate. When that is done I will have the samples on hand for Cross Country Weavers - early for next year. More of that later.

On the last part of the warp I used a blue merino weft to make myself a short scarf. Most of my scarves suddenly seem to be too long. This is it - one photo on each side of the fabric and a close-up.


Even though there is no lustre on the yarn, it has a "shot" effect in certain lights.
