Jumping the gun on February:-)
What to do on a foggy, dreary winter afternoon when there is a tapesty loom all warped up and ready to go - today it is color gradations.
I am using 2/8 wool from my stash. It is finer than the Harrisville Shetland I was going to use, so I am able to bundle more strands per butterfly, or in my case, bobbin. I am basing this study out of The Tapestry Handbook by Carol Russell, page 102. I made my bundles 3 yards long and started weaving across the width of my warp which is 9" and I was not able to get enough height woven before running out of yarn in the bundles. So I took out what I had woven, and made up another set of bobbins, opposite of what I have started with. So one half of the warp is dark going to light, the other half is light going to dark. It is working so far.
