another episode of the frugal weaver

thrums from this project too godd to throw away. gorgeous japanese silk dyed with natural dyes.motainai nai. had kept them and finally have found a niche. 

the scarf is going along great will be finished this week.still reveling in how pleasant this weaving has been.

with the leftover warp i am attempting a japanese style  drawstring  pouch. plan on weaving a simple crepe and then dyeing the resulting fabric a 30x30 silk square.

 the silk thrums will be braided and used as the drawstring.kind of a fun project. all after i heal from a

&%** tooth ache.i'm on antibiotics and waiting to see the dentist.

on another note thinking about weaving a crepe yardage to make a top if i survive the dental issues.

stash busting strategy, need around 5 mts for a top with sleeves counting that the loom is just 80cms wide.

try outs

the original weave blanket  white silk warp, golden beige nubby silk.

 

quick dip in walnut no heat. an interesting beige-brown with greenish undertones. it would qualify as bronze color.the above strip was modified in  an iron dip. guess less iron and more time would develop a more complex color. still pondering wich route to go.
