MAWS project complete

Darn. The camera is home but no photos yet. I finished the silk shawl/wrap project on the small loom this week and it is lovely. Not what I planned, but very nice indeed. The yarn is Henry's Attic 1 and 2 ply Rapunzel (100% Tussah Silk) dyed by me using Earthues Natural Extracts. The mordant was alum and cream of tartar and the dyes used were Logwood Purple and Grey. I used the 1 ply for the warp which was a mistake and used a Summer and Winter pattern. I accidentally set the warp wider than I had planned hence I have a much (3") wider piece of fabric than I intended. Ooops. So it's sort of a weird size, somewhere between a scarf and shawl. This project is for the Bozeman Weaver's Guild booth at the MAWS conference in Helena. We each picked a photo of a Montana Wildflower to use as inspriration. I chose a photo that I had taken while on vacation in the Pryor Mountains and I was using slide film at the time so I don't have a digital copy...only a print. So I'll tell you the flower was obviously purple. Photos tomorrow hopefully.
