I took my loom and wove on the piece I have had on it for a while now. Today I see that I am nearing the end of the warp. The warp at the threads that run the length of the fabric. So far i have over six yards of fabric. I am not sure if it will reach seven yards but that would be great.
I showed you my coat that I made - but now I have a photo of me modeling it at the Kai.
(although not a great photo - I screen captured it from a video)
One day last week I did some more yarn dyeing. You can dye wool with drink mix (like KoolAid) and with food coloring. Here is my yarn.
I hope you are staying warm if you are in the "deep freeze" area much of the USA is experiencing

I really enjoyed the photos and your hand dyed yarn is really pretty love all the different bits of colors in it-I am anxious to learn some of those tapestry techniques in the saori weaving-loving your yardage too beautiful color
Your yarn on the loom is almost as pretty as the finished cloth. I have dyed with food coloring but found it isnt waterproof. Is your woven cloth made with this wool yarn to be washed? I bet your mess is a beautiful mess. ;)
I have a fiber friend that dyes with koolaid too. I can't understand why it doesn't wash out. I don't think you can dye cotton (quilting) fabric with koolaid, which is also a natural fiber. Any thoughts?
