This project is a variant of the "Fire and Brimstone" cocoon jacket pattern from the Flavian Geis article in Weaver's 32. I hand-dyed 20 skeins of yarn in colors fading from red to golden yellow, and warped up in stripes of color about 1/2" wide - the colors are so close you can't see the transitions!

Then I wove it using Flavian's draft, but changing colors in the weft as I went, from red to yellow and back again.
