18/2 Silk And Wool | sweetgeorgia

Simple.

Friday, November 30th, 2007

I lurve Friday weaving. The [six-yard 18/2 silk and wool warp](http://blog.sweetgeorgiayarns.com/2007/09/tangled-up.html) is on the loom and I’m weaving the first half in Dornick twill with a darker purple weft. The second half will be “crystal” twill (just a different treadling) and a magenta weft. Say “yay” for daylight in Vancouver.

First few inches plus some white mop cotton header

We’ve only gone a few steps… but I think I’m in love.
