It’s not all that common that I have an ‘open sister’ baby wrap. An open sister means that I can put more length on my loom than I have committed. For the best use of my time, it’s most efficient to warp for between 7 and 10 meters of finished length.
At the moment I’m in an unheard of situation, having two open sisters! I’ve put the info out to my wait list, and thought I’d post them here, too. I’ve shown drafts from my weaving software, with the best I can do to match yarn colors. Both drafts show a black weft and a white weft to give some idea how light and dark colors interact with the warp; the buyer can choose any color weft. I’ve also shown my hearts weave; other weave patterns can be chosen.
I use Maurice Brassard cottons for the warp, and though I most commonly use it for weft as well, I have successfully used tencel, silk, cottolin, and cotton/hemp for weft.
The warp colors in the first draft are periwinkle, bleu, bleu moyen, turquoise, vert pale, gris pale, and gris fonce.
The second draft uses the following warp colors: fuschia, rose fonce, rose pale, periwinkle, and mauve pale.
If you’re interested in either open sister, email me at peg (at) handwovenscarves (dot) com for pricing and other info, or leave a comment on this post. Act quickly…they’ll likely go fast!
Are either if these available?
I emailed Maria and will email you directly about these wraps, Jayme.
I’m interested but would need to know pricing to see if I can afford it – I hope so! I’m especially interested in the first draft in a pointed twill weave.
