WOW (Way Out West) Weavers met in early May to discuss their year long study of linen.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend.
Luckily, we have good scribes and these photos and info was sent to me
by Gerry W.
Thanks Gerry--photos are great!
This is Tracy's sample-- double weave with
basketweave interlacements
Her main project is a table
square
Marian wove a plain weave with
warp floats inspired by a Dimity pattern (plain weave with cords) from the 2013
Cross Country Weavers swatch collection inspired by Architecture. She
used linen warp and nubby silk weft. Her hubby made a clever wooden
hanger for the wall piece
Gretchen wove several runners on the same warp and came
up with several variations using different linen wefts.
How lovely these are!
Karen I. Wove a delicate
narrow Inkle band with 16/1 multi-colored linen warps and 16/1 unbleached
linen weft.
D'Anne wove a 4-shaft Goose
Eye Twill with 16/2 natural and black linen. She states, "I wanted
to learn to love linen, but I didn't!" She also can't see any of
her children ironing linen!
Gerry used a draft from the
2013 Cross Country Weavers Architecture inspired swatches. The motif is
an angled "brick" shape in Huck Lace, using 16/2 tan warp from
Bockens and 20/1 half bleached linen weft (Bockens).
Gerry is definitely an over achiever--she had these samples using different fibers!
And here is our gifts for the Texas Conference raffle basket. I think we came up with a super basket once again!
