Framing in preparation for a charity art sale. Three woven pieces and a mixed media artwork.

Finished, both the cloth and the scarf.

Linen scarf with some silk jaspé.

Completely Finished - at long last.

Silk jaspé and mercerised cotton weft on silk jaspé, linen and hemp warp.

It isn’t possible to get a true plain weave with a dornick twill draft but here I am trying out the twill pattern as figuring on an almost plain weave ground. New pick up stick 🙂

Linen, hemp, silk jaspé warp and predominantly linen weft.
