RAINY WINTER WEAVING

cloudy rainy skies, spring green grass and cheerful daffodils .....

When one doesn't want to get out into the garden in cold rainy weather,
there are always the looms. 
So during two months of record breaking rains, I've played indoors.  

Combining a wonderful 8 shaft draft from Rebecca Kaye on facebook with handdyed Tencel from Tammy Haughney of Yarntopia Treasures in New Mexico has resulted in a shimmery cowl and scarf in colors just in time for St. Patrick's Day. 


WARP: 8.6/2 Tencel from Yarntopia Treasures " Thailand" aligned by color on the warping board.
WEFT: 8/2 Tencel from Webs in greyed teal for the cowl, and teal for the scarf.
