Life has been getting in the way of my weaving lately so I have been making an effort to do what a friend calls "comfort weaving". Here are three scarves, all using the same multi-coloured yarn as the warp and three different wefts: blue wool at 10 epi, finer black alpaca and an even finer pinkish (puce?) alpaca both at 12 epi. Each has a different handle as you would expect but all three have finished well and I am pleased with them.
It was interesting watching narrow stripes forming in a long (2 scarf) warp as I was winding it, so had to experiment to see if I got wider stripes in a shorter (1 scarf) warp. It sort of worked.
And another thing . . .
I discovered I can still knit!
I should go on holiday more often.
