And more Saori

I have a long wide prewound black wool warp on my Saori loom.

This wrap was woven with 2 ply black Bendigo wool weft, with lozenges of coloured fleece inserted randomly.




















A Jacket/cape. 

















I wove a 5 metre length of fabric on the black wool warp. In the weft I used handspun wool and silk yarns, as well as commercial wool, mohair and silk yarns

I was nervous about cutting the piece to make it up, but am very pleased with how it looks. It is a one size fits all garment, and fits me as well as my elegant size 10-12 daughter in law, Kristen.
