Riot of Colour and Texture

A quiet blog always means a busy blogger -- at least around here anyway. I've been anything but idle lately and yet haven't taken the time to update.



The "Riot of Colour and Texture" warp has long since been woven, removed from the loom, and made into a cowl and one hat (a second from the same warp is awaiting a knitted brim).



The Saori "No Sew Hat" is how this begins, but I think I'll be adding a knitted brim to the ones I make. It helps them to fit a greater range of head sizes.



It also gives them a slightly different look. More slouchy beanie or beret style, depending on how it is worn.

Pull of the Loom

I wound this warp a few weeks ago and it has been waiting its turn at the loom.

I was pleased with the warp itself, but I'm thrilled with the actual weaving of it!

It's turning out so much better than I expected. 

In fact, watching the colours play out against the mixed warp is so enthralling that the pull of the loom is irresistible, and I find myself back at it even when I should be doing other things.
