I started with natural colored yarn. I dyed some colors and used those to wind a stripe in the warp. This stripe was then shifted and tied to reserve some of the colored stripe in simple straight bands. Most of the rest of the warp was wound from the natural yarn. A few narrow stripes of the colored yarns were wound separately. The ikat and natural warp were dyed together in one pot, black.
Ties removed, the warp assembled and un-shifted, and woven.
This was meant to be one of two panels to make a poncho, but the colors ran out and the instructor (me) ended up with only one panel. It is a fine shawl.
This really has the wow factor!
I've followed your account with interest. I hope you are pleased with the end result!
Beautiful! The edge line also adds so much for framing!
I like the chevron and the border.
It's great!
Well done!
Thank you for posting it!
Have a good day!
