a nice view from the back beam the finishing line. impossible to keep going because one gets floating shafts :(
fabric off the loom, what a beautiful sight! total length 335 cms. width 69 cms.feeling satisfied with the outcome woven on my 12 sha table loom. it's 80cms wide, but the lifts for the 335 cms were done by hand! the structure is an advancing supplemental merino weft on a wool plain weave ground. it's the same principle as a loom controlled shibori, but this time instead of gathering the supplemental weft it is going to be shrunk for texture. see partial draft here.
wet finished mega beauty. 30 minutes in very hot water
and liquid savon de marseille in my mini washer gave these soft ripples which a better photographer would have captured..
i could go for deeper furrows sacrificing width. right now after wet finishing i have 300cms in length
and 65 cms wide.
would like to find one of those waste free patterns and go from there whether to full more or not.
on to pattern hunting now.
neki desu
