Fall Fabrics


The colors of fall cannot be ignored! I am threading up new warps of the last greens and blues of summer, warm rusts and reds, soft browns and golds-- I am excited about the new weave structure I have on, too. It alternates two blocks of plain weave with either a twill or a basket weave and when the fabric is processed I get a slight pucker. And the color patterns are part of the structures too. Like lines, stipples and waves.

I will be using this in the new jackets and the wraps. Perhaps in the scarves, too.

And it is time for baby blankets-- not just for my NEW GRANDSON!!! but my buddy Carl's granddaughter, my bff Dee's Great-grandchild and I think there will be more babies to wrap this fall and winter. I am thinking soft yellows, blues, pinks and greens in pointed strupes making up squares with some lofty softball and organic cottons. I stared winding off these threads Thursday so I will have to take some photos.We should be modeling the blanket sometime last of December, first of January.
