Weaving: Hand Looms

This week I have been back in the studio, carrying on with my weave. I've started to experiment with new weft colours, and weaving patterns. I have learnt today that wool is VERY sensitive to harsh conditions- resulting in some of my warp yarns snapping! oh dear.  I'm not a fan of the bright blue weft yarn- I think that it takes away from the colour scheme of the warp.  Currently I am in the process of doing a warp weft- which will hopefully end up with a wonderful checkered pattern.
