Subtleties
scarf #5 – the first on the second painted warp My camera doesn’t seem capable of capturing the subtleties of colour in the cloth. This glimpse may give you an idea of some of the shades of colour…. Hand weavers in North America are not just competing against each other when they try to sell…

SABLE
Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy… scarf #2 just begun – #1 is visible below scarf #3 – photos do not do the colours justice Sometimes having SABLE is a good thing. The first of the painted warps is a bit pastel and I wasn’t sure I had the ‘right’ weft for it. But a good…

Diving In
Out of focus shot of the box of warps! First painted warp rough sleyed with potential wefts… Home again, home again, jiggity jig! I collapsed into bed almost as soon as I came in the door so exhausted was I from the long flight and lack of food. With my food allergies, I decided not…

To Flash or Not
without flash with flash Need some photos for publicity purposes and decided to try without flash as well as with. While the without flash shows the colour gradations more accurately, the with flash makes a better picture. So that is the one I will be going with. In some of my software programs the without…

Yesterday Doug got the pressing done and this morning brought home the scarves. They still need to be trimmed and tagged before they are ‘ready’. I also want to carefully examine them and decide which weft I will concentrate on using. Of course the one I like best so far is the finest weft (Bambu…

First Day of Spring?
I think today, March 20, is supposed to be the first day of spring. Yay? However, my yarn order arrived today. I still haven’t finished putting the yarn from the trip north away so my studio floor is rather cluttered with bags and boxes of the stuff. The bags of white yarn are the two…

Full Sized Samples
A shot of the loom showing as much of the warp as possible – the colours go into a deep purple/pink which you can just see if you squint – or click on the photo to biggify Patient? Moi? Um, er, that would be a ‘no’ I guess because instead of weaving off the last…

Scarf #3
I wasn’t sure the camera captured the lovely subtlety of this warp until I downloaded the picture, but this is pretty close. The lower part is actually a stronger orange, which I think you can just sort of make out. It is transitioning to a deeper slightly purple pink which likewise doesn’t really show true…
