Angelia's Scarf

So for those of you who are knitters, you probably know the Yarn Harlot. The Yarn Harlot is cycling from Toronto to Montreal for the 15th Annual Friends For Life Bike Rally in support of Toronto People With AIDS Foundation.Anyhow, if you donate to her or her team you win a prize and I volunteered to make one of those prizes; a custom handwoven scarf!

The winner was Angelia (CONGRATS!) and after a round of colour/style questions and several different options, we chose her this lovely colour combination:

Then I set up my Krompski loom and warped up the bottom skein (sorry for the poor lighting)....

And began to weave!

I think it is quite lovely (if I do say so myself), and evokes the dappled forest tones we were going for!

I hope she likes it!

P.S. If you want a custom, hand woven scarf, check out my etsy page!

Adam's Blanket

by Rowan at 9:44 PM

So way back in January/February my friend Adam commissioned a hand woven blanket for his king-sized bed. So, after ~3.5 months of work.... this is the result.
I wove 5 large (~20" wide and 3m long) panels with green weft and five different shade of brown to grey to white weft.

The panels before they were sewn together

3 out of 5 panels done!

All 5 panels (Jason is holding the blanket up for scale)!

Coulourwork and Weaving

by Rowan at 1:41 PM

As with knitting, you can play with colour in weaving. Since I'm new to this weaving thing, these scarves are just 2-colours in some pretty basic patterns. Both are woven with a yarn called Madeline Tosh merino light in dark blue (Baltic) and a very pale blue/grey (Chambray). the patterns are produced by how you warp and weave (instructions are here).
