Beauty of the Loom

Today while weaving I was struck with the beauty of my loom and the weaving process.  I took several pictures from different perspectives to try to capture what I saw.  Follow the link to see them.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did today.

Green, Gold and Pink Variegated Merino Scarf

I made this one using my new Cricket Loom.  It is so soft and shimmery it looks and feels like silk even though it's wool.  Really pretty.  It measures 5x60 and sells for $65.

2 Scarves

I forgot to take a picture of the honeycomb scarf, so I only have 2 pics to post.  The first one is a grey cotton and gold rayon scarf that I sold.  The second one is a green chenille with merino strips that my mama wants.  I wove the second one in the car on my way home from Texas this week.   I bought a new "Cricket Loom" which is lap sized and perfect for road trips.  Too bad the weaving goes so quickly.  I'd need about 12 of these for a real road trip!

"Cool Stuff" Scarf

I'm wearing this scarf just about every day because I love it so much.  It's made from hand dyed yarns that are tied together in a color-way change to create a rainbow effect.  All are soft, silky, or chenille, and I just love it.  Expensive but worth it!

Mardi Gras Scarf

This is a Mardi Gras scarf that I made for a co-worker to give to her daughter.  It's purple and green cotton with yellow bamboo.  Soft, long, and very "festive."  I love it!

A Blue and White Plaited Twill Rayon Scarf

Soft, silky, oversized.  Perfect for my friend Cathy.

A Red Scarf for Alyssa

A Fuzzy Red Scarf

This is a commission for my friend Rachel.

Bulky Cotton Chenille Scarf

The epitome of cozy.  This scarf is soft and cuddly.  I'd love to have it around my neck!  It measures 7.5 x 68 and sells for $50.  The fringe is twisted.

A couple of scarves

This scarf is made with a yarn called "fuzzy purls" and is fun fun fun! (and all mine!)

This fuzzy and sparkly scarf was given to Elizabeth for a Christmas present.

This scarf was intended for Alyssa's Christmas present but she found the wool slightly scratchy.  It's already sold to a different person!

Black and Blue Alpaca Scarf

SOOO soft and warm.  Lovely.

Purple, Blue and Black Cotton and Chenille Scarf

Yet another scarf for a friend to give as a gift.  It's really sparkly and soft.  I like it.

Blue and Purple Wool with Black Alpaca Scarf

This is a lovely purlple and blue vertical striped scarf with black alpaca weft.  The fringe is hemmed and left loose for a soft feel.  The weaving pattern is a large double diamond.  It is incredibly warm and sells for $40.

This is a gift that Alyssa is giving her friend.
