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

The weaving went smoothly for the black weft. The second wrap on TA’s warp is white Egyptian cotton. Here I’m changing colors. <\/p>\n

Just before this shot I had a period of panic. I should have had 2 tubes of the white yarn, but had only 1. I checked the invoice – yep, only 1. I went to my notes where I figured out how much I needed – 2. So apparently I made a mistake when I ordered.<\/p>\n

I immediately contacted T & explained the problem. We discussed a variety of solutions, and she asked me to weave the first 6″ in another white I had, as close as I could match, since it would not show as she’s having it turned into a ring sling. Then weave all I could with the Egyptian cotton (about 75″ according to my calculations), finishing with navy.<\/p>\n

That what I did. I marked the end of that weft and started with the Egyptian cotton. I wove about 60″ and it looked like I might be able to get all 112″ of the wrap woven with the Egyptian cotton. I contacted T & asked her what her preference was – try to weave it all in white or do the navy tail anyway. She opted for about a foot of the navy.<\/p>\n

I’ve got it all woven now. Tomorrow I’ll cut it off the loom, hem it, and get it into the washer. <\/p>\n

Next up…a special order rayon chenille scarf. Then a sample of my next jurying piece to see if my concept will work. By then the yarn for the next batch of baby wraps should have arrived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
