The navy blue tea towels are off the loom and the yellow ones have already gone to their new owner. The red tea towels have had their final product photos taken and are almost ready to go up in our Etsy store.
Now I’m trying to find something to put on the loom. All week I’ve taken out different bins of yarns to see if anything leaps up and grabs me. So far nothing has inspired me, maybe it’s the grey sky.
I finally just pulled out the painted silk scarf warps that we painted last fall. They are gleaming in the light and they are definitely making me happy! I lined them up and then had a look at the scarves that we have in the Etsy store, to see what colour we are missing and if any of these would fill the gap.
I went with the one in the middle of the pile, it is 2/22 silk dyed in moss green, brown, orange, scarlet and plum. I think that it looks like autumn leaves. I don’t have a pattern planned or a weft chosen but the warp has been pulled onto the loom and it looks exciting.
We are in the long pause where it isn’t winter anymore and spring is just waiting around the corner. The daffodils are heading up and the rhubarb is starting to appear from the ground.
The catkins, female flowers and leaf buds of the contorted Hazelnut, Harry Lauder's walking stick (Corylus avellana 'Contorta') are always an early indicator of spring and frankly I can't wait!
