More weaving


I haven't posted pictures, haven't taken many pictures but weaving has been occurring. Last month I wove 2 shadow weave alpaca scarves with Henry's Attic Prime Alpaca in the Silver and Misty Grey natural colors. The 2nd one went to a friend.

In January and February I wove a shawl with royal blue Frog Tree Alpaca Sport Weight 100% alpaca warp and Mini Mochi Baby Face (pastel rainbow) slow color change sock yarn for weft. This shawl came off the loom on February 8 and is finally finished. I don't have a finished pictures yet, this picture is on on-loom picture taken at the cloth beam to show both sides of the fabric.

I have 2 more scarves that have come off a loom. The first is red xie bamboo warp and black 8/2 tencel weft, the 2nd is a self striping sock yarn in black/grey/cream for both warp and weft. The red/black scarf fringe is twisted on 1 end. I think I will wash some of the sock yarn and see if I can avoid fringe twisting.
