Farm Show

Had fun last week representing the Butler Guild by doing a weaving

demonstration at the Butler Farm Show.

The spinners hand spun Linda's beautifully prepared wool rolags

into yarn for weaving. 

I warped enough for two scarves and wove the second one at home.

The weft for the second scarf was a miscalculated warp

from a demo last year.  Glad I hung onto it because I had just

enough to weave off the scarf!  

The medium blue weft really makes the colors pop..

One more demo to go.  Next stop...

Indiana County Fair

Fleece to Shawl..

{Before the Bath}

This shawl was woven in about three hours using

freshly hand spun, unwashed, wool.

The yarns are springy-full-of-energy fresh 

off the spinning wheel making weaving with

them a challenge.

Once the shawl is soaked and blocked the yarns will calm down.

This piece was woven during a demonstration at the 

Depreciation Lands Museum.
