I’ve completed four pieces so far this month: three scarves and a shawl.<\/p>\n

You saw the beginning of the new-to-me-Tara-Oftenorth weaving draft here<\/a>. I wove off all three scarves, fringed, and wet finished them.<\/p>\n

My favorite is still the first one, with the marine silk weft.<\/p>\n

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

Although it works fine in closeup, I’m still not sure how well it will look when the whole piece is photographed at once, as is required for jury images. <\/p>\n

For the second scarf I used sax, which is a pale silvery blue color. I like it better off the loom than I did on, but I the contrast of the colors doesn’t move me.<\/p>\n

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

Because I really liked how close the marine and pansy were, and wasn’t excited by the sax and pansy, I decided to use a color that was closer for the third. I didn’t have what I wanted in silk, so chose a periwinkle tencel. It’s a tint of the pansy – the same color but with some white added; at least to my eye it is. The tencel is a bit thicker than the silk so the weave pattern is slightly elongated, but that’s okay with me.<\/p>\n

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

Meanwhile I was working on the black and white shawl I’d started in the last post. I wove off the first one, cut it off the loom, fringed and wet finished it so I could decide if I needed to re-sley the reed closer for this undulating twill structure.<\/p>\n

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

I like the hand of the piece and believe it to be stable, so I won’t be setting the warp closer for the next two shawls. <\/p>\n

I am fine with the way the black dye ‘broke’ – separated into some of its component colors, with red coming out in some places and blue in others. It doesn’t detract to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
