It wouldn't be springtime without rainbows.
My beginning weaving skills were taken to new levels with a five-day weaving workshop with Judith Mackenzie.
Judith started off the beginners warping with different textured yarns including bouclé and mohair. We finished warping and weaving a scarf in one day. The goal of the exercise, besides producing a beautiful open gauzy scarf, was to show us that we could warp with just about any textured yarn.
Next up, another warp, and this time with 3/2 cotton. It was great to be able to practice warping the loom and so much fun to play around with different weave structures on this sampler.
And finally, back to that rainbow. It's actually a color study using strips of color on the warp and then weaving with those various colors to see the effects in plain weave and twills.
I'm amazed by what I was able to accomplish in the five days. I may even be ready to warp the loom on my own. :)

Very cool! I especially love the rainbow study and how the different colors work off/with each other.
The rainbow weaving is SO beautiful :0)

What an incredible 5-day weaving class! All of them are wonderful.
OH. MY. I can't believe how cool that all is. Holy cow, you've been busy. I am saving for a spinning wheel. Now I may have to start a jar of coins for my loom.
Oh my; you accomplished amazing things in the class. I was wondering who went from our GGFI group. Was anyone else there.
You go, girl!!!!
