MAKING AGAIN

It's been sooo long...I thought I'd never get to the loom again but I've just had a magic dose of weaving with wool.  Out lovely new product White Gum Wool needed a garment or two for the Campbell Town Show.  I wove a magic wrap in a window pane variation.....

It's a biggun.....34 cm finished width and 2300 cm long with a generous knotted fringe. I was thrilled to see it in the Fashion Parade - the drap was wonderful!

Also a smart little scarf in my traditional plaid pattern using some of the new WGW Foundation pallette colours - sedge and gum grey.  it looks great with Sue Evan's knitted swing jacket also in White Gum Wool.


It feels so good to be making again!  I've been spinning too....several skeins waiting to be washed and set.  Photos soon.......  :)
