this is me

when I write down my draft.
when I choose the yarn.
when I prepare the warp and tie the knots.
when I sit in front of the loom and nothing else matters.

I'm glad this blanket will go to baby Federico - I'd almost forgot how powerful this feeling is.
I weave.

Love your colour combination here. That will be a lovely present for baby Federico! Enjoy the weaving.

The colours are beautiful and so baby-like. The material looks very soft, what is it?
Please show us the results once woven.
Good luck
Betje

Hi there! no weaving for a while and I already finished it! I'll post some pics when the blanket has been washed and pressed.
Thank you Margreet and Hilary ;-)

Betje - it's merino wool in the warp and a blend merino-silk-cashmere in the weft, very, very soft!

Susan - you should try weaving some day, the only danger being that you'll become addicted!

Hi Donatella, beautiful process photos! Weaving looks so interesting but extremely complicated. Looking forward to seeing the finished blanket.
