After finishing this small weaving, I added the flowers using cross stitch.
I had dyed the yarns. |
As I mentioned in the last post, these are some examples of my weavings from our time in Ann Arbor.
Airy-Fairy Weavings (my name for them...):

| Small wall hanging. |

Weft-faced Weavings:
In these weavings, the warp threads are spaced far apart. When you weave, and beat down the weft yarn, the warp is totally covered - hence, 'weft-faced.'

Warp-faced Weavings:
In a warp-faced weaving, I would double up on the number of warp yarns I threaded on the loom. When I wove, the weft would be totally covered by the warp, and disappear inside the weaving.
