Flowers or?
So here is scarf #4. I’m kind of liking this motif a lot and can see it in a bunch of different colours. I’m calling it a flower although it could be a four leaf clover, too. 🙂 The rhythm of the shuttle throwing is much slower than just using one shuttle, or even two…

Have A Heart (or two)
cheese grater beam installedscarf #2 and 3 off the loom, back and front sides…once the cloth has been wet finished I expect the motif side will ‘read’ better since the chenille will be all fluffed up and give better coverage…it already has a quite nice hand, though, not like how 100% rayon chenille woven in…

Diversified Plain Weave
a little oopsie…see the line??? This afternoon I tied on and started weaving on the Diversified Plain Weave warp I had prepared a while ago.

Stash Reduction
It seems ages ago I beamed this warp in an effort to use up some of my stash of cottons but I’m finally heading down the home stretch. The bottom bit has a dark red cottolin weft which is now all used up (yay!) and the last couple of yards of this warp will be…
