my new design loopy Saori hand woven scarves/boas

 using all my own drum carded fiber spun into art yarn for thes loopy fun scarves  this was my first experiment  green and blues 

 i wound a narrrow warp 

 very narrow warp i put on of 8/2 cottons 

 gathered my hand spun for the weft 

 and i started to weave 

 my husband harvested the pears while i was weaving i made pear chunky sauce.

 i love the way it came out !

 after soaking the handsopun yarns plied back on themselves it is vey cool.

i had enough for another scarf left on my warp. i re threaded the the reed to make it only 1' wide 

i call this one indian corn and it is much longer 80" long 

i took it off the loom and soaked it over night in hot water 

soaking in hot water 

 i love wearing them they are cozy and feel sooo good on.

i just finished a pulple and violet one but that will be for the next blog.

peaceful weaving in the redwoods
