More fun with Saori and other weaving

I am having such a great time at the moment playing on my looms:


Another couple of long wall hangings



The centre pic is the upper detail of the hanging on the left.
Both hangings are about 170 cm long. Done with a silk warp, and the weft includes wool, silk, cotton, leather and plant materials.






Both these scarves are woven on a black silk warp.

The scarf on the left has a polyester and wool chunky weft.

The one on the right is hand dyed silk









 This bead leno woven wrap has a handspun wool warp, and a hand-dyed silk weft. It drapes beautifully



The purple chenille cowl on the left turned out a bit brighter than I planned. Still need to practice more with dyeing cotton!

The table runner on the right was woven with handspun wool, painted both in the warp and the weft. And a few palm flower stalks added for effect.
