The simple red and blue scarf was well-received, and I had a request for a repeat. One might note that red and blue are University of Arizona colors, and that may have been (ha! was) a factor.
The first one was made with leftover 100% wool and 100% alpaca. This one was made with my usual scarf yarn, 75% acrylic, 25% wool. The colors were slightly different, since the yarn came from different manufacturers. These scarves will likely never be seen together, so I can’t directly comment on the differences. Both ended up looking fine, in my opinion.
All tied up, wound around the peg across the room…
The bungee cord is holding the peg against the tension in the yarn. It is ready to cut, and then comes the warping.
Cut at the far end, and now ready for warping.
Warped, and wound, with all the cardboard in place keeping tension even. Ready to start adding some weft.
Weaving underway. I like these views of a project, all smooth and orderly.
In the heddle. Inadvertent ad placement – this is a Kromski loom, if you didn’t know already. Ha.
Done with the weaving, ready to tie up this end.
All done! By the way, for those of you looking around the apartment, that sculpture on the bookcase is titled “Birth of the Salmon”, and is by Max Metal, a sculptor living on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada.
