So, I decided to give a mixed warp of Bambu7 and the 2-ply cashmere a whirl... I normally sett my Bambu7 at 16 epi (a little loose, perhaps, but I like to give the yarn room to move when I wash it), so that's where I started.
There it is, going into the sink to soak! The black yarn is the cashmere, and I used a couple shades of Bambu as the lighter blues and greys (hard to tell in this photo). It came out nicely after the wash (it's air drying at the moment) and now I'm warping another one to sett at 20 epi instead of 16, just to see how it turns out. I'll keep you posted!It's fun to be back to weaving a little bit after the busyness of last week... we have Open Studios at WAS this Saturday, but I have nothing, basically, to sell! Eeks! Ah well, it's always nice just to chat with the people that come through, and get some work done, too.

I just love your shadow weave scarves;) Isn't weaving such a fantastic therapy?!?!?!
Isn't shadow weave just plain cool? To me, it's like the M.C. Escher of weaving. The light and shadow illusions that can take place are never ending.
It's also fun (to me) when a weave structure beckons us to become so acquainted with it, that we can spend months and sometimes years immersed in it.
Weave like an Egyptian,

That's really gorgeous! I just got a loom (used, Harrisville, 22 inch) for Christmas and can't wait to get started! Although, it's difficult to imagine ever being able to do something that beautiful... Happy New Year!
This scarf is beautiful, Kristin! I so love your weavings.
