Finished pink and white warp

Plain weave neck wrap 120cm x 38cm

Waffle weave (front) plain weave (back)

Waffle weave scarf 34cm x 150cm

Well the pink and white warp is woven and off. I am disappointed with both scarves as the over twisted wool was not over twisted. Well it certainly looked it and the sample twisted but when woven it has a slight crinkle and the scarves just look a bit messy.

Weft over spun wool and the warp is wool, over twisted wool and polyester.
Waffle weave scarf:
original dimensions off the loom 40cm x 155cm
washed dimensions 34cm x 150cm

With the neck wrap I was hoping for stripes of over twisted wool that would be pulled in tight and the polyester making a ruffle alas not to be, well we live and learn!

Why Always Pink?









This is am old piece or work I did in my final year of uni, Back Paddock 2003, silk and copper with natural and commercial dyes. Woven pleats

Ok what is it with pink? I always go back to pink. Is it a subconscious think? I was never a pink person then at UNI I became a pink person all my work was pink and I started wearing pink clothing. Now my work has gone back to pink. This is the pink and cream warp I wound 2 weeks ago going on the loom today. I have threaded it with a pointed draft 1234321234321. Now the quondery what to weave now? I think the weft isto be all cream and maybe some over spun and some plain weave cream.
