Twisp of Fate

I had a number of ongoing projects come together in the last week or so, or at least ready for photography.

Extended manifold twill shawls – 20/2 mercerized cotton warp, tencel wefts in 6 different colors.  The pattern weft is WEBS 8/2 variegated tencel used doubled, with a 10/2 tencel tabby weft in a solid color.

5 shawls in a drawer

Mountain Stream with gold tabby

Lake Combo with emerald tabby

Wild Grape with adobe tabby

Sapphire with herb green tabby

Northern Lights with dark red tabby

Mountain Stream with moroccan blue tabby

I also finished two more small blankets or throws which have Jaggerspun Green Line organic wool for the warps, and my handspun yarn for the wefts.  I had enough of a teal Corriedale/alpaca handspun to do two alike.  Some of this had been languishing as a half-knit sweater for a couple of years, so I pulled it out, re-skeined and washed it, and made a better use of it!  This pattern is called a 2-line twill.

And finally I have been processing some of the unravelled cashmere sweater yarn into an 8-ply cabled yarn which I plan to use as weft for some scarves.  This process is greatly facilitated by the use of my Hansencrafts electric spinner with the WooLee winder.

It is so yummy and soft!
