My second V-project, this time with much thicker yarn, much easier to do, and looked better at the tricky seam in the middle. This was the first project I ever actually sold, - to a neighbour at our summer house area

Notes: 

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.

Notes: 

I used the reduced star of David draft from Twill thrills, with the diamond shaped centre and also reduced the edges a lot.

The very fine yarns and structures and the sheen  makes this project very difficult to post decent pictures of.
