You saw the blue & green rayon chenille shawl that I’d sewn in the back for that V shape, but I never posted photos of the one that I left straight.<\/p>\n

I like the clarity of the colors without that variegated weft. I also like the fact that since there’s no seam, it can be woven with either the blue predominating…<\/p>\n

\"blue-green<\/a><\/p>\n

…or the green.<\/p>\n

\"blue-green<\/a><\/p>\n

After those spring-like colors I went for more saturated, rich colors. I think I’m going to call these 2 royal gems. Here’s the one I sewed.<\/p>\n

I didn’t think muslin would drape enough to show me, ergo the knit fabric.<\/p>\n

Here’s the wrap I didn’t stitch.<\/p>\n

I really like these colors. A lot. And rayon chenille never fails to thrill me with its drape, sheen, and luxury. I’m confident both of these will sell.<\/p>\n

I’ve also woven 3 each of red and blue rayon chenille scarves, but haven’t photographed them yet. I’m working on one more run of 2 rayon chenille shawls, and then I will move on to other fibers. I just wanted to get these done ASAP so I can send one of each to the Copper Shop, and they are needed there before 9\/29. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
