Notes
I've recently started doing some dyeing, specifically handpainting warps I've measured out. Prior to this shawl, I'd previously only dyed warp for scarves - cotton, silk, and rayon. I wanted to try a shawl, painting purposefully to get some overlap and some differentiation between the 7 bouts I'd measured in advance. I'm quite pleased with this for my first attempt at this process.
I opted for a simple extended point twill, wanting the colors to be the stars, not a complex twill design. I switched direction of the twill at each section of the warp.
I think the wound warp, ready to batch, looks like a caterpillar.
You can get more details in my blog post on this.
