I intended this as a three-layer shawl, but because of my inexperience with dyeing, my third color didn't work.  I re-drafted and used pick-up to get the look I wanted.

Notes: 

Wool blend, silk fabric stripes, mohair and novelty yarn create this lacy weave.  Because wool felts, it is used as the casing around the non-felting fibers; such as the silk strips and novelty yarn. You can use this technique in the warp and/or the warp to stabilize non-felting fibers. 11″ x 74″  www.sdoakdesigns.com

Notes: 

This is a shawl that I wove on the Dewberry Ridge triangle loom, set up to the 7 foot width. I wove it with handspun yarn, and embroidered the dragonflies on with handspun silk yarn that I spun on a support spindle. The dragonflies were embroidered while the shawl was still on the loom. I don't like fringes, so I spool knitted a cord, and stitched it onto the edge while the shawl was still on the loom. It's my homage to the beauty of the butterfly|!

Notes: 

This was the result of a gift of a lovely handdyed alpaca/silk/cashmere. It was slightly tone-in-tone, so I decided to use plain weave and then luckily found a matching cashmere/wool to use for weft. The name of the colour was Winter Sea, so I used varied setts to give the impression of waves, and also added a few strands of silk, grey 30/2 and white 60/2 doubled, in a few places.

Notes: 

I've been wanting to try a spaced warp and weft shawl for years. I have a couple fancy holiday parties to attend and thought it was the perfect time to weave one... And my loom was empty! I'm anxious to see how the yarns spread once it's off the loom, and the spacers are removed and it's filled...  I washed the shawl by hand with shampoo and cream rinse and then tossed it in the dryer for 20 minutes to full and soften it.  I had to separate the yarns in the fringe as they became almost dredlock-like in the dryer.  It's 82' with the fringe.  The finished shawl is soft and luxurious... perfect for party-ing!
