Here you can see the purples clearly as I change from LM’s black weft to ARO’s marine. The next color, lavender, still doesn’t show up well in the photo, but it does in real life.<\/p>\n

In addition to being black, LM’s weft is a cotton\/hemp blend. And since it comes only in natural, her yarn was hand dyed – by a woman I’ve used before. Susan over at Iowaweaver<\/a> does a really great job dyeing yarn, whether it’s a solid black like this or hand painted in the colors mom chooses. ARO’s marine is the same cotton as the warp. I’ve got less than a yard to weave tomorrow to finish weaving her wrap, then the off-loom work.<\/p>\n

The colors of autumn are particularly beautiful this year. It starts with a pink, orange, lavender, and yellow sunrise.<\/p>\n

Interesting enough when you see the whole tree, a closeup really made me wonder…why are the variegated leaves so much smaller than the green ones?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, lots of things are still in flower. I picked some hydrangeas and roses at my daughter’s house, and they’re now in my basement, curing to dry slowly for use in decorations.<\/p>\n
