I just came back from Jane Staffords' Studio on Salt Spring Island yesterday. It’s like going to a “Candy Store” except no calories, but lots of inspiration. I had painted a 2/16 cotton warp with Procyon dye and I planned on using the plum 2/16 cotton for a weft to tone down the bright colours, but I wanted to Jazz it up a bit. Is that not an oxymoron. I bought some Sequin thread for the first scarf and some Colcolastic thread for the second scarf. My first scarf is off and I am gobsmacked (it is a word). I used 20 EPI and I hand washed in hot water and into the dryer for a few minutes to air dry. The scarf was 80 inches pre and 74 inches felled. I can’t wait to see what the colcolastic will look like, so back to the loom!
