revived

according to merriman- webster : 

to bring (something)back into use or popularity.

to return to consciousness or life: to become active or flourishing again.

so here i am again weaving this project  which was started when it was still cool.

think i've gained new appreciation or a diffrent look on it as i'm not pressed for time and enjoying its slowness.

 after some time i have accomplished this much, but that's ok.
it's weaving, not sewing.

being biased

kms and kms of  silk strips cut on the bias. joining them was no easy feat for a mild dislexic. left, right, wrong side, right side now match it all.sigh!



the gizmo. most of the times simple is good.
sometimes simple is really good.


















now tell me these are not the best looking seams to be seen on
the internet?
 even the hem!

still have pending some finishing touches. it will be a go over the week. on to the next!

rejoice! rejoice!

off the loom 60 cms wide. notice the 10 ends of botany wool and the 10 ends of overtwisted wool . and the threading mistake   :(

beauty close up. the dark yarn is wool stainless,
the white is overtwisted wool.

wet finished
top:  black merino wool  shrank and felted a bit, but did not produce  significant collapse
white: overtwisted wool not very noticeable collapse.
gray: the best acting yarn
red: the structure is evident, but not much collapse. perhaps more fulling is needed.

 closeup of both the the grey and the white overtwisted yarn. the overtwisted yarn pushes the yarns together thus creating a denser fabric, but since it is a 2/2 twill it is supple.

the end. maybe because it fulled more the grey yarn created a nice bubbly texture.
to be explored.
