A fun few weeks weaving ... scarves and a ruana


I wound a 4.5 metre warp of 8 ply white wool, and then dyed it randomly, using several autumny colours, in the microwave. I added several black and orange bands as well, to get a bit more width. When on the loom, I used a black 2 ply for the weft. I am quite pleased with the result. I made the length into a ruana. I love ruanas. As warm as a jacket,  but easier to take on and off. you can drape them any which way.



The colours don't look quite so vibrant in this light
