A new year and new projects.....

I got a loom for Xmas and this is my first attempt at weaving. The warp is commercial wool 8 ply and the weft is natural handspun alpaca - it's beautifully soft.

The loom is an Ashford rigid heddle 60cm.

This is a stole I made on my new loom. The warp is commercial wool 8 ply and the weft is various commercial textured yarns from my stash. I added beads to the fringe.

I started this wall hanging for my son about 3 years ago and only finished it for his birthday in January! For a long time it was in the too hard basket. It's very satisfying to have it finished!
