mohair

... currently sampling ...

Here are my latest scarves - two colours for the warp and two colours for the weft -
resulting in four shades of cashmere/silk and linen.
These were the last two of the light ones;
now that Autumn is finally upon us I feel the need to be weaving something more substantial
in terms of yarn weight. Maybe something fluffy too...

I discovered Claire's beautiful blog - Clarabella -

I noticed that my holiday photos create little clusters
- so I have photo collections on silly subjects! - mostly details, as usual.

walnut brown

a few skeins I recently dyed with walnuts - one is pure cashmere,
one is a cashmere-silk blend and the third one is llama.
They were in the same dyebath but the colours are slightly different - interesting.

white and blue linen

this time I did it.

Cut and sewn - finished with bias tape.
I still have to wear it and test it, but so far I am happy.

Blaudruck Koo

prototype

I have been thinking about a gauzy cotton-linen top without much tailoring
and this is a prototype - just two squares sewn together with gaps for head and arms.

despite the lack of shape it's quite comfortable because the fabric is so light
...yet I am not completely satisfied with it... 

There is something amazing about sewing your own handwovens and wearing them
but I am still sort of fighting against the idea of pattern cutting!
