I had to pick up and pack the rental van this morning to head to the next show, and I didn’t stop weaving till 8:00PM last night. After that I pressed all the scarves I’ve woven in the last two weeks, measured a mohair warp for my rigid heddle, and wound that warp on the back beam. This morning I still have to finish threading that loom and tie on to the cloth beam, and label the 18 finished pieces. <\/p>\n

18 finished pieces?! <\/em>All made since August 29 – 11 days ago?! I can hardly believe it myself. I have been B-U-S-Y! My back is really glad that today is the last day of that craziness. It’s tired of sitting at the loom for hours on end.<\/p>\n

As promised, here are more finished scarves.

I wove these three scarves with Tencel rayon hand painted by Tammy<\/a>. I used her Visionary colorway for the warp for all three, with a different weft for each. All have Bronson lace along the borders. On the left I used the same hand painted yarn as weft; in the middle is a solid deep purple rayon, and on the right is another of Tammy’s yarns, this time Silver Linings. The colors are more alive in person than they are in this photo.<\/p>\n

Next I wove three more rayon scarves. The weft is a variegated boucle in red, purple, and blue.

\nInterestingly, I think the picture of these three scarves looks ‘cleaner’ than the scarves themselves; that’s the opposite of usual. Although the colors were crisp on the loom, they got rather muddy when wet finished.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the first two have a solid red rayon boucle weft, one in a diamond pattern and one in a wave twill. The third has a solid purple rayon weft in diamonds. Because my purple rayon was much lighter weight, I used my double shuttle and threw two strands of rayon at once. I liked it better on the loom than off, when that purple really predominates.<\/p>\n

The last scarves in this post (hopefully I’ll have time to post the last new scarves this weekend) are hand painted bamboo.

\nThis is a colorway Tammy calls Blue Violets. I just love it. I’ve used this colorway in bamboo, rayon, and rayon chenille, and think it turns out gorgeous in all of them. I wove two scarves with a diamond twill, one with twill waves. I think it’s odd that the scarf on the right is so much darker than the one on the left; it’s not just the photo – they’re like that in real life, too. Weird.<\/p>\n

Gotta get in that van right now – check back for the last five scarves.<\/p>\n
