New Pile Rug


The colours have not come out very well on this.
The warp is grey norwegian, weft black hebridean and the pile is a simply gorgeous gotland in shades of silver grey, dark grey and black.

Dragon shawl











There had been plans to adapt the loom for twill weaves but having worked 4'6" of plain tabby with no variation I got so bored so what was to be the peplos was finished early and decorated with four felt dragon heads and is now a shaw. Think I'll stick to soumak and pile weave from now on!
