Let’s Weave A Video
Imagine a scarf that will lift your spirits and reflect your colourful character – this is that scarf. I promise it will be listed in the shop in a few short days. In the meantime, here’s a short video that will make you smile.

Ondulé Reed, or Fan Reed
A short time ago, I made a couple of videos showing how I attached the ondulé reed to my loom and how I adjusted it during weaving. I was on my own and had to fix the camera in place and hope for the best. So, it’s not perfect, but I think you will get the idea.
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.
In The Pink
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.
On The Loom
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.
Just A Glimpse
In my previous post I promised you a glimpse of the silk scarves inspired by my autumn walk. So here it is.
Autumn Walk Inspiration
I put out all my reels of blue and green ready to create two silk scarves. Then, I went for a walk and took a photo of the lake. It’s amazing how similar the colours of the silk are to the photo.
Reds In Autumn
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.
