January 2020 Show & Tell
Sherron brought four scarves to show us: On the left, two scarves woven with chenille weft on a chenille warp for one and on a tencel warp for the other (the scarves look and feel much the same); in the center photo, a scarf woven with knitting yarn as warp and weft; and on the right, a scarf knit of yarn with “Florida” colors and textures.Suzy showed us two nuno felted scarves she had made and the decorative felted piece she is holding in the center photo. Each scarf has a hole for the wearer to pass one end of the scarf throughto make it a ring.
In the bag Terry is holding are six felted soaps she made in a Three Moons workshop. She dyed the purple yarn on the right in a Three Moons workshop after she spun it.Ellen’s three scarves were all woven on the same 20/2 teal cotton warp in Echo and Iris double weave patterns. The texture of the scarf on the left resulted from weaving with a colcolastic weft (lycra/20/2 cotton) which contracts when it’s washed. The other two scarves had 20/2 silk wefts
Tom wove a cotton scarf for Mary using a barley corn weave pattern.Sue has completed a baby sweater for the next member of her extended family.Using Terry’s handspun yarn as warp and also as weft at each end, Joyce wove this scarf. It also featured slubs of roving to add more texture and interest.As her first ever weaving project, Tammy wove these two cotton wash cloths at Three Moons.
