I’ve gotten enough feedback from my first 2 testing mamas for sample wrap #2 that I was comfortable weaving the second wrap on that warp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the draft looked like in my computer software.
\n\"snowflake\/flower<\/a><\/p>\n

Although the color is way off, to me, the snowflake image is very clear, although some friends are sure it’s a flower. Whichever your preference, there’s a discrete visual image. Although I didn’t take pictures on the loom, I found the image just as distinct as I wove.<\/p>\n

I finished the weaving, hemmed, and threw it in the washer & dryer. Here’s the best photo I could get (natural light not currently available).<\/p>\n

The snowflakes\/flowers have basically disappeared! Even in a closeup.

Now, I haven’t done the hard press yet, but I can’t imagine that it will make much of a difference. Those distinct snowflakes\/flowers turned into blur of lines, a mush of color. Not what I had in mind at all!<\/p>\n

To quote one of my male friends, I guess all I can say is, “Hunh!”<\/p>\n

Only when I looked at the preview of this post could I identify at least one potential reason. The draft is very square: the draft image I showed you is 4 snowflakes high and wide. I went back to the photo of the wrap and cropped again to get an image that’s 4 snowflakes high and wide.<\/p>\n

\"cayenne<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, it’s far from square. Much higher than wide. I thought I had done a good job of calculating how much I needed to pack in that weft to get a square when the tension was released. Obviously not. <\/p>\n

I’ll take this as another learning experience and move forward.<\/p>\n

Once I can get some decent pix of this and a series of pix of sample wrap #1 & #2, I plan to put them all up for sale on my Etsy page. I’ll let you know when they’re there.<\/p>\n

For now, I’ve beamed my Macomber with a silk warp that’s 6 yards long, 520 ends wide so I can weave 2 silk shawls that I hope will be good enough for the juries. Then I’ll return to baby wraps, getting down to business on the custom wrap orders I have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
