RBG had her cotton/hemp blend yarn hand painted in a 6-color variegation. Once again, Susan Pogue did a great job with her fiber artistry. RBG wanted lots of color and variety in her wrap, and her communication and work with Susan on color did a good job achieving that. With variegated yarns it’s often easier to see how to colors move across the warp from a side view than it is from the top.
I’ve been making good weaving progress the last few days, while still doing things like mowing the lawn, doing laundry, and changing my worn out porch light fixture. I only have about 60″ left to weave. 🙂
I’m working with more moms on their plans for custom wraps, but it’s clear to me that I’ll have a break before the next baby wrap yarn comes in. That’ll give me a chance to cover those kitchen chairs and accomplish some other tasks that are waiting for me. And maybe work on some Christmas presents. (Shh. No hints here.)
I think yours is lovely too, Ramona! Perhaps we could trade down the road. 😉
I find the autocorrect feature sometimes very helpful and sometimes very frustrating. And sometimes, especially when others send me a text with a typo, quite humorous, depending on the words chosen by the virtual brain.
Ramona – I’ll take a photo of a ball of the variegated yarn and post it next time, although once the yarn has been wound from skein to ball it’s pretty impossible to tell how the yarn was painted or what it will look like woven. Also, this same yarn, used as weft on a piece that was only 10″ wide would look very different than this 31″ wide piece. Similarly, if it was used as warp instead of weft it would look very different.
Oh yes would definitly love the idea 😉
Ahhh this mobile phone! Keeps correcting my Orthographie wrongly. Should have ment: i like it even better than mine <3
Peg do you have a picture of the variegated yarn used to see the colors that are in there?
Oh so well chosen the weft colors!!! I even like this Vetter than nine hahaha
Oh, I love it! You and Susan have done such a great job. I can’t wait to snuggle my baby in this beauty.
(I keep meaning to post this comment, and I keep going back and admiring the photos! Hehe)
So glad you like it, RBG!! I plan to finish the weaving today…hopefully life will not intervene in that plan. 😉
No worries if it does! You have been weaving up a storm- take your time!
