Mixed wool warp, 100% merino weft
Handweaving.net #3357 woven in double width
2005
This was the last adventure of 2005. Glenda, who knows a thing or two about textiles, asked me to weave a wedding present blanket/throw. I was nervous and excited about the auspiciousness of the occasion.
Glenda and I agreed the overall color would be natural/beige/off-white, but I wanted the piece to be durable, and the weave structure to show up. So I used coercer wool in two beiges in the warp and undyed merino with scales in the weft.
After wet-finished, the weft brought on an almost-felted, moist texture to the piece.
