Monet's Garden Dress Scarf

I've been trying to duplicate a scarf I wove last year for a new customer who fell in love with an old picture on Etsy...but I find it impossible to be exact. I also do not have the same threads and yarns from year to year. It is not always possible to stock the same variety so I made do with what I had and I hope she likes it. Meanwhile I have three more to weave and put on Etsy! I'm happy with this one even if my customer doesn't end up wanting it!

Sleying the reed after threading the heddles...



Ready to weave...

Have a lovely week!

  7. Thank you, Annabelle! I get 8/2 tencel from Webs in Northampton, MA...This one is a med blue but I find that Mineral Green works in alot of my scarves.

    1. Thank you, Diane, for your kind words...They warm my heart. I am weaning off pain meds slowly and hopefully will be back to "normal" (ha) in another month! Hugs back at you!!!
