FO day!

I am keeping very busy here at Casa Wool Therapy. I finished my first rug on the cranbrook a few days ago. And yes, that includes the hem! I hand hemmed these and it turned out fabulous, I will be doing it again. Final measurements (30” x 72”)
 

 
 
 
I pulled another scarf off of my RH too. It is a mash of 2 different hand dyed yarns, both by the same dyer, Three Irish Girls. The warp is a 50% Alpaca, 30% Merino, 20% Silk blend in a solid, and the weft is a single ply 60% Silk 40% Merino blend.
 

 
Happy Weaving!

Finishing and photographing

I have a pile of things ready to be finished.
 


Sewing, washing, hemming, pressing and twisting fringe. FUN!
 
 
This scarf was the first warp I put on my new to me Louet Spring. Finally washed and ends knotted. 8/2 Tencel warp and weft.
 
 
This AWESOME scarf was woven for a Raveler, and used hand dyed sock yarn as the warp with 8/2 tencel as weft.


 
Only a Partial photo of this project because it is a Christmas gift! Woven with 10/2 Perle

 
And last but not least, a set of kitchen towels. The warp was hand dyed by Blazing Shuttles. I used 8/2 Cotton for weft, 3 in orange, 3 in navy and 2 in turquoise. These towels are listed in my Etsy shop!
 

 
Happy Weaving :)
