Been weaving. Handspun wool, from Reflection Farms, purchased at SOAR 2009 in Bend Oregon. Spun on a Lendrum Saxony, plied on the SpinTech. I call it Fruit Salad because there are plums, strawberries, mangoes, blood oranges and blueberries in there! Yummy :).
The fabric was sett at 15 epi, and is about 4 yards long, x 20 inches wide, on the loom. This is finished, and off the loom actually, but not washed yet. I'm too busy getting the next warp on.
More to come!
Meanwhile:
Somebody has been visiting Hawaii, where, if they don't let you eat fruit salad, you might as well eat your hat.
I've always maintained that food colours are a good place to start, but apparently I don't want fruit quite so much: I tend to eggplant, olive, mustard, pumpkin - still tasty but not a Sara-palette!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought hats quite that delicious (to judge by her expression), but then again, I'm not in Hawaii. Perhaps that makes a difference.

Thank you for putting up the sett, size, etc. As a newer weaver I really love seeing this info with the pictures which helps give me an idea of things to try next:>. Is your yarn two ply or singles? Curious, how many oz did you end up spinning for this project? I'm in the middle of spinning for a wool shawl but a bit unsure how much to spin. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet baby eyes!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE weaving with wool. It doesn't have the glow of silk but it has a depth and richness. Beautiful colors too, of course! Is this fabric or a shawl/scarf?
I love love love the photos of your grandlove. :) She is fabulous! And she looks so good in all those colors! :) So happy for you!
