New threads for a new scarf!!




Just finished making the warp for 4 more scarves--I tried for neutrals but I seem to quickly revert back to my greens and purples! sigh...At the end of the month I will be dyeing with a woman who won a day with me (my way of giving back to the local arts council) and I will try very hard to round out my stash of dyed threads! I just got a shipment from Henry's Attic which sells wholesale and is based in NY state. They only sell natural colored thread which I then dye. I'll try to take pictures of my natural stash tomorrow. Meanwhile I'm off to weave!!
Happy Friday, Everyone!!!!

    What lovely colours. The threads look so lovely already... I can see why you chose the colours, they go together so well.

    I love the colors, but I really love neutrals too... would love to seem some of your scarves and cuffs in those shades... and think of the treasuries they would go in!!! Speaking of treasuries, thanks so much for your latest... that was very sweet of you!

    Thanks Jill!!! I've almost finished one scarf with this warp and will post pictures when I'm done!! I keep trying to push my envelope with color...it's a process!! :)

    Nice to meet you Hilary!!! I listened to your music most of the afternoon yesterday!!! It was wonderful!!! I've never woven a rug though I thought that was what I wanted to do and some years after I started weaving I found myself weaving smaller and smaller instead!!! I ended up weaving miniature coverlets in thread working under a magnifying light! Insane! But fun! It was wonderful to find you! and thank you for commenting!!!!! xo
