After nearly a year away from my loom I am pleased to be back. I have a new commission and decided to re-energise myself with double weave. I used it for my South Down’s Tweed but realise that the learning then was done in the white heat of final assignment. Now I want a more reflective and gentle revisiting.
So it’s been interesting.
I have used yarns in my stash, particularly bamboo because the itch of wool on pashminas and scarves is not helpful for some folk. I wove a mixed colour warp to allow for differing colour blocks and then just wove. Finding rhythm and the easy tension has taken time, patience and gentleness of spirit. The warp is off now and new ideas will, I hope spring from it.
