Weaving with Mohair

This past weekend I wove this purple & silver mohair scarf on my rigid heddle loom. I'm rather in love with it, even though it's May and the scarf probably can't be worn now till October.

You can learn more about this scarf, or why I wove a mohair scarf in May, at my new blogsite.

Fishy Scarf

In my last post I showed a scarf that was a heart. This time it's a scarf that's a fish.

"Huh," you say? "Doesn't look like a fish to me," you say?

Go to my new blogsite to see why I think it's a fishy scarf.

Rigid Heddle Weaving

Children helped me to handweave these two bamboo scarves on my little rigid heddle loom recently. Learn more about them at my new blogsite.

Bamboo Cotton Scarves

I've made two more sets of handwoven scarves in Tammy's bamboo-cotton blend. Here is her New York colorway, the Olive Oil ones are in the post below.

I wound each warp for four scarves, and made three regular and one finished into an infinity scarf. I'm still hard at work to meet Jan's scarf-a-day challenge for the month of February. Visit my new blogsite for more details, and to see what I'm working on now.

Handwoven Infinity Scarves

My daughter suggested that I make some infinity scarves, and I'm so glad she did! I enjoy making them, love the way the look and how easy they are to wear. There are also seemingly endless possibilities for length and width, resulting in endless possibilities for this must-have fashion accessory.

My Latest Handwoven Scarves

Even though I haven't posted lately, I've been weaving up a storm. I've joined Jan's Scarf A Day challenge for the month of February, and I'm right on track.

I've moved from the rayon chenille to some hand painted bamboo-cotton blends for a while, weaving scarves that are better suited to the warmer weather.

I've been using bright pinks that make me smile, and earthy greens.

I've also made some handwoven infinity scarves. Check my new blogsite to get all the details.

Weaving with a Wool-Silk Blend

I made these beautiful scarves from a handpainted wool-silk blend yarn. I purposely used a very loose set, making the scarves nice and light.

Even though I'm very sensitive to wool, I can wrap these scarves around my neck with no trouble at all. Check out my new blogsite for more information, or go to my website to buy one.

Christmas Weaving Revealed

All the handweaving I did for Christmas gifts can now be revealed, as it's all been opened by the intended recipients. My niece and nephew, son and daughter, each received a handwoven scarf or throw. I used bamboo, rayon chenille, and bulky organic cotton.
