Hats of Grey

Here are the two hats made from the "< 50 Shades of Grey" warp.

The one on the left is made by tying the warp ends together and twisting them, while the one on the right has a french seam that is almost undetectable, hidden amongst all the texture at the back, and then a pompom as decoration 

Both hats will be available for sale at the Chilliwack Christmas Craft Fair.

< 50 Shades of Grey

I was definitely remiss in blogging about this one! I finished it a few days ago.



It was such fun to weave that I barely stopped to take photos.



A very neutral colour scheme, but lots of interesting texture and additions.



There are bits of ribbon, blobs of roving, and hairy novelty yarns,



boucle yarns, sparkly threads, and a sprinkling of beads,



metallic ribbon, handspun, and a few dangling jersey knit tubes.



It all adds up to a lot more visual interest than you might expect from a monochromatic weaving.



It made for a rather fascinating fringe.



I was kind of sorry to see the end of that warp. It did not end with the cowl though. In future posts I'll be displaying a couple of hats woven from the same warp. They are having their hand knit ribbing added now. Unfortunately that process takes much longer than weaving off the warp!
