QW had me use Havana tencel weft for her wrap, a color that’s new to me. Wow – was I impressed with the results! This wrap looks like it’s woven with gold threads — as in the olden days when the royalty had real gold in the fabric of their clothes. Hopefully this closeup can impart some of that richness and sheen to you.<\/p>\n

I really love it!<\/p>\n

And here, although I don’t think the camera captured what my eyes did as I wove, the interplay of these specific greens with the gold reminds me of an iridescent beetle, the kind that always startles me with its beauty.<\/p>\n

The overall look of the wrap is nice, too, although it doesn’t move me like the closeups.<\/p>\n

I have to say, when I first started this wrap I was afraid of the color and how it would work with the warp. Probably because the burgundy weft JK chose looked so great with it, and the contrast between a dark weft & a light weft was so striking. So I was once again very pleasantly surprised by the results. The baby wraps are a never-ending study in color for me.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah. Yesterday I got some weeding done and planted some annuals. I planned to do more today, but the loom just called to me and I couldn’t resist. After so many days away it felt good to be producing cloth again. I finished weaving the wraps and got them both hemmed and through the washer. They’re in my dryer now. Tomorrow I’ll do the pressing and labeling, preparing them for Friday’s mail. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
