bringing the backburner to the front

getting ready for some itajime shibori.

the cotton gauze fabric from dharma trading- geezz they celebrated their 40th anniversary and i think i've been buying from them that long.

mordanted using the lile's recipe of alum tannin alum.already folded now needs to be clamped and dyed in murasaki of course.i need to exhaust that dye before moving on to carrot tops.

2 months and 6 meters later

it's all finished. from designing, testing color dummies, making the warp chains,painting them, batching,  rinsing, threading and weaving.
one of the reasons i love blogging is that i can keep a record about my work and my progress as a craftsperson. or the lack of it.

true that i took a break in between to be with house guests,but not counting that in the tally.

i am very pleased with the outcome. now wet finish iron and some rest while i decide which pattern to use.luckily i have a choice and this time won't run short on fabric. on the contrary, think i'll even could swing a full set of underwear (＾∇＾)
