A few more weaving projects have left my loom over the past few months and are ready to be worn in the cooler weather of autumn. Scarves, of course, are easy to weave and require nothing more than to drape them over oneself.
I made one piece of wide weaving into a tunic as a birthday gift for a friend of mine. After cutting the weaving in half, I sewed the two pieces together up the back. I found 6 hand made clay buttons and sewed two on each side and two in the front, with loops through which they close. The warp threads are silk/nylon, and the various weft yarns are angora, merino, wool, and recycled sari silk. Happy Birthday Nia!
Other scarves that have begun to pile up vary in width, length, heaviness, fibre content, colour and pattern. I get drawn to follow a simple design, attempting to create a certain pattern, and then I am inspired to follow nothing at all but my spontaneous reach for colour and texture. Scarves are great for not having to be committed to an idea for very long, especially with my collection of very random fibres.
