Some recent colors of the season out our way. Not fall yet, but almost.
We have an unusually large waterfowl population this year. They are quite tame, and vocal too.
If soft and fluffy is your game, you only have to look up.
In the studio, some spinning activity this week. Wensleydale yarn hanging to dry.
At the loom, I was unhappy with a project on my 4-shaft loom and decided to rethread. Two days later, here is the result. It's a modification of a draft I found in a Swedish weaving book, (Daldräll, Thomasson/Andersson, translated by Becky Ashenden, Vävstuga Press). The original draft goes by the name of Dalkülla.
Daldräll is what we English-speakers call overshot. My warp is natural cotton, pattern weft handspun Black Welsh Mountain wool, tabby weft is turquoise cottolin. Click to enlarge.
