For some time, there was a warp on my loom made of threads that I had dyed for weaving. The process started in November of 2020. By mid-November 2020, I had the warp on my loom and the weaving had begun. Then it sat for a long time. I got tired of weaving with just black weft thread. In February of this year (2022) I began trying a few other colors to weave with. I didn't find great happiness with that either, so it sat again. One day I noticed the yarn I had spun sitting patiently on the bobbin of my spinning wheel. INSPIRATION!!!!! I finished that yarn, washed and dried it, then put it all on weaving bobbins.
Once I started weaving with my hand spun yarn made of bamboo, acrylic faux cashmere, real silk and rayon. I was so happy. It was all woven pretty quickly. It came off the loom and was wet-finished (aka washed, ironed wet, and hung to dry.)
Then it rained or was too cold for photos. Now I have some lovely photos.
I love how the variations in the hand dyed warp and the hand spun yarn play together.
The fig tree looked like an interesting place to "pose" the cloth.
Hmm... a few threads shed from the sewn end.
I need to trim those.
What will this cloth become? I don't have a plan,
but the cloth will tell me when it is ready.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

It looks great Gene. I'm glad to see you made friends with such a special warp. Handspun sounds like the perfect pairing for it.
I am so very glad you got this finally finished Gene! I just love how it turned out. I also love that photo in the fig tree I might add. It’s wonderful to see this again and all finished. Now to grow up… when it’s ready.
WOW!! I agree with Marlene and Sandra - what a perfect pairing!! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it - when it grows up - even though it looks terrific as scarf for the tree - LOL - ;))
Oh gosh, this is so beautiful!
Really lovely, such subtleness!
