and while on sampling

the proverbial left over warp in use. the sample above is one pick s twist, one z twist silk crepe yarn.
very successful texture  ｡^‿^｡

tricot s and z twist yarn

16 ends x cm and 10 ends x cm with a light beat.

the light beat is more pliable and supple, but less stretchy. something to keep in mind in weaving yardage for clothing.

all in all fun experiments. a bit of structure after the jolly times with my bestie.she left and i took to the loom.

sampling for a bride

  linen knit

silk bourette knit

crepe silk 

i am making a shawl for a friend who is getting married in september. mailing these three samples for her to chose.if she chooses the linen knit i will be a very happy camper!

the woven sample has to be researched more as the crepe silk becomes quite scratchy after wet finishing. used a tablespoon of sodium bicarb as scouring agent since it is milder than washing soda.

just simmered and it didn't cut it. had to add hair rinse to soften it.

what has the collective wisdom to say about this?
