Weavin'
Ikat
For this piece I used plastic ties as a resist. The wool was dyed twice, once with ultramarine, after which more ties were added and it was dyed a brownish plum. The weft is a thin tweed and with strips of handspun with fleecy "clouds". It was pleasantly storming as I wove this. The tail end of a snowstorm brought a crisp rain that pooled and covered our backyard in s sheet of ice. The resist pattern reminds me of downpours as well so I've started referring to this as my storm shawl.
Knotted Resist
I found out through dyeing these samples how much I love knotted cords! I am going to do something great with cords soon.
