I warped up the whole 24" of the loom for the first time with a black wool/acrylic mix in DK weight.
The hand spun all went in on the weft and I am going for a clasped weft which means you can use two or more colours on each row. I thought it might help get the flowing shapes that I was after.
Started off with using 2 colours, which progressed to 3 and then 4 once I started working the flashes of acid green in.. Four wasn't the greatest idea I ever had, I was pretty unorganised about it and it was ending up a right mess, but the weaving looked ok!
It is finished but is currently rolled onto the loom so I have no idea what it actually looks like as a whole. I will be finding out once I have filled up the rest of the warp with some sampling. I have about 20cm to play with, so will see what happens!
