After some delays, I’ve finally been able to get back to weaving my custom baby wraps. As always, I started by winding the bouts on my warping mill. HR, the warp designer, created a beautiful flow, using 10 colors — more than any of my moms to date. With gradients between each, there are only narrow bands of solid color.<\/p>\n

Using Maurice Brassard cotton, here’s bout 1, going from royal to bleu to peacock.

Bout 2: peacock to vert pale to lilas.

Bout 3: lilas to rose pale to fuschia to magenta.

\nI had a bad moment, actually a bad few hours, with this bout. I had more than 80 threads wound & measured – close to 13 yards of each of those 80+ threads. Due to a bit of sloppiness in my paperwork, however, I’d inadvertently skipped over the rose pale completely, going directly from Lilas to fuschia. <\/p>\n

OH NO! Fortunately I went back to my paperwork again before I started measuring out the next color and saw my mistake. I had to unwind those 1,000 yards of lilas & fuschia, carefully so as to not waste them, winding them on cones as I went. That took A LOT longer than winding it in the first place. Just like unweaving takes a lot longer than weaving. But I caught my mistake before it was too late and started again at the top of the bout with the lilas & rose pale before moving to the fuschia. Whew! Disaster averted.<\/p>\n

And last: magenta to mauve pale to mauve fonce.
\n\"HR<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s how the colors all play together. (The colors are pretty dull here, they’re richer in real life.)<\/p>\n
