Painted 8/2 cotton warp + deflected doubleweave, using a variety of wefts: 10/2 mercerized, 8/2 unmercerized, 8/2 unmercerized cotton slub, and linen. Approximately 24 epi and ppi.
Still needs to be wet finished. Now I'm struggling to decide whether to turn this into a piece of wall art or an infinity scarf! I welcome opinions!
And it was so much fun!
12 epi, combination of Brown Sheep Co. Fingering weight (teal), Ode Alpaca (cream), and Purl Soho Quill (rust). Keystone pattern by Otterwoven by Dana.
Made a gigantic scarf/pashmina. It's the first thing I've pulled off my very first floor loom (of my own), on my very first painted warp, on my 40th birthday.
I love it. It's riddled with small errors and isn't quite symmetrical because I didn't account for enough loom waste when I dyed the warp, but notwithstanding I'm sort of hoping I can keep up a habit of creating and keeping a birthday piece that I've make just for myself so I can see how I grow over time. I've had a hella stressful year, after two previous hella stressful years. Weaving has been an unbelievable gift, as a new hobby that's inspired me to have more creative output in this year than I ever have before. (I do promise to stop spamming the sub so much once I get some more chill tho!)
Made with three colors of 8/2 cotton, two different colors of Gist duo, and three colors of bold lyte hemp from lunatic fringe. A combination of swedish lace and plain weave on 4 shafts. I started with the "midnight sun" table runner pattern from Gist and immediately went off the rails to get what I had in mind.
Posted one the other day, here's the other two!
Definitely some changes I'd make in the future but in the whole very pleased with how they turned out. Two for some twins born in the family, (I didn't beat their birthdate but I tried!) one for a friends bb due mid-May.
