For the opening of the show “Eye for Colour” (see previous post), I wove a scarf with arbutus colours. Here it is:
On an arbutus tree…
With the pumpkins…
And on me, beside the woven tree…
The scarf was made on the same warp as my “Shades of Arbutus” weaving. They look totally different - that’s one thing (of the many things) I love about weaving.
My shades of arbutus had over 30 different yarns in it - the scarf is woven with one gradually changing yarn - Noro Kureyon (from Japan).
Happy Weaving,
Terri

What beautiful color changes in the scarf. It is amazing that it was woven with just one yarn! Ellen

Thanks Ellen. The Noro yarn really is a gorgeous yarn with subtle colour changes….it was fun to just do up a quick scarf after all of the mixing of threads for the ‘Shades of Arbutus’ piece.
Happy Weaving,
