The weft yarn is a bourette silk yarn dyed at Summer School this Summer and a plain silk yarn that I had in my stash but colourwise goes with this dyed yarn. The dyeing method was a ball placed in a dish with one colour, fixing colour, turning ball over and dyed another colour on the other side, fixing
again. I hope I have enough for one scarf with this weft yarn.I have more but that is another colour, more towards blue. The balls shown here is not how they came out of the dye bath! I made skeins after dyeing and rewound them into balls after the skeins were dry. So, the more intense colour is in the middle of the balls now. I cannot wait to find out how it will weave up in the scarf.
Here a picture of the first few woven inches of the first scarf. If I find that my yarn is running out to quickly for the first scarf I will mingle in some of the other colour.It is good to be weaving again after more than 4 weeks non-weaving!!
There seems to be really beautiful. It must be exciting to weave with yarn that you dyed yourself. I get so inspired by seeing all the great things one can weave.
ReplyDeleteThese are really lovely, soft colors. And the effect oft he dyed yarn is beautiful, I look forward to see the result!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for getting back to weaving. I too find the autumn to be a very busy time and trying to squeeze a few minutes of weaving in can be a problem. The silk look lovely. I can't wait to see the finished scarf.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back to weaving!! I took the whole summer off pretty much, but now I'm back to my loom.
ReplyDeleteYour scarves look beautiful. Can't wait to see how they progress!
