I was running low on rugs after the guild sale, and after placing some at the 2 galleries down in Twisp, had only one at the Winthrop Gallery (a member-run coop gallery). Then they sold that one last Saturday (which is a good thing, but yikes!). So this past week I finally got the 50-yd rug warp on the sectional beam of my 48″ Macomber and am back in the rug weaving business. I have all those bags of Pendleton blanket selvages we brought back from Portland, OR as inspiration!
R236 – 32″ x 52″
R237 – 32″ x 29″
R238 – 32″ x 64″
R239 – 32″ x 60″
This will be it until the end of the week, as I am headed over the pass today to the Skagit Valley for 3 nights with my Dad.
Also got some more Mosaic Mojo hats done since the last post:
I really like the one shown below. I have used Noro Silk Garden in the past – it is just the right weight and I love the feel of it with the silk and kid mohair in it, plus the way it changes color along the length of the ball of yarn is always a surprise and very effective in these hats. But I can’t afford to buy Noro Silk Garden at full retail for hats I am selling in a gallery! I have only used odd balls I picked up at stash reduction sales or sale bins in stores/online. But I found some Noro “Silk Garden Lite” in my stash and although it is thinner, I found if I strand it with some Rowan Kidsilk Haze (or similar very thin kid mohair/silk yarn) it is just perfect! So that is what I used for this hat:
