Deflected Double Weave
Marian Stubenitsky has a lifetime of weaving behind her and a remarkable way of exploring and working with colour. I am an avid follower of her work and have all of her books in my weaving library.

Usually my warps are 100% pure silk, but this time I’m using pink cashmere/silk yarn that I bought last year. I will use a lace-type draft so the finished item should be light, soft and airy.
Last week I started weaving a very simple blue silk shawl. It is only one colour but using a block twill creates squares all the way down. Hard to take a good photo, but you can see what I mean.
In my previous post I promised you a glimpse of the silk scarves inspired by my autumn walk. So here it is.
A silk warp on the loom in various shades of red. I weave on a Louet Megado 16 shaft loom which gives me lots of pattern options.
