done!

one less thing  from the to do list. our trees are thankfully small because of  the lack of space.

on to making the card, and the trip downtown to buy the nougat.

pinching some time tomorrow afternoon to cut my hair.sigh. 

and you may wonder about the warp. me too. i've chickened out, don't want to deal with broken threads  right now.

oldies

found this in the proverbial bottom of the proverbial drawer. i had been weaving for quite some time, but was new to weaving cloth and wearables. this is one of my first scarves.

i used silk doupioni, can't call me timid, which was dyed with natural dyes. as i didn't keep notes i do not remember what i used, but given the color and the period i can guess on either logwood or cochineal. or a combination of the two.the doupioni was scoured until it became a soft, catchy floss with lots of shine.it is drapey and wears very well; looks smashing with black outfits.

the structure is a crepe from davison.  my interest in crepes dates from way back then.
