Pretty pretty hand dyed and handwoven single loop cowl
I was thinking of the Southwest when I was dyeing my warp.
The warp is a lovely tencel cotton warp dyed in shades of sandy browns, golds, dusty rose and soft reds w pop of blue and green. Southwest. The weft is sage green tencel.
16 wide in a single loop
I initially hand washed it and then tossed into the dryer. It behaved well and I feel it could be machine washed & dried. I just say hand wash on the care label if you’re worried.
I took the images in natural light to best capture the color and tried to show it true.
Weaving is my happy place. This isn’t an easy process. I spend a lot of time pondering the patterns I want to weave and then I need to do the work of winding all the yarn into a warp and placing it onto the loom. Each piece of yarn is threaded through a reed and then the heddles. After all that, I wind the yarn on and barring no mistakes, I can then begin weaving. Many hours go into the process of weaving. Weaving is truly a labor of love.
