Full Length of my Saori Weaving. It turned out to be 17-1/2 Wide and 1-3/4 Yards.
Saori Weaving close up. Red is the dominating color and you can see scraps of other yarns of different length. Good way to use up scrap yarn most people throw out.
Center close up of the Saori Weaving. This is the 2nd attempt to this type of weaving and done on a 20" wide Rigid Heddle Loom made by Beka.
Saori Woven Cloth. The Back end that I left a really short fringe.
Return to Sender of 2012. This is 85% Bluefaced Leicester and 15% Tussah Silk which is so soft. The colors are natural dyed. The denim blue (which you can't see comes from indigo. The apple green is weld overdyed with indigo. The Dijon mustard yellow is fustic and the brick red is a blend of cochineal and madder. Ground wood and roots, leaves, flowers and an insect were used to dye the batt this yarn was spun from. The batt was easy to spin from the types of fibers blended together. There's 2 ounces of fiber spun on this spindle and I'm spinning another 1 ounce of Tussah to ply with this yarn. Will post a photo later. I won't get this done in time for judging for CNCH.
