Honeycomb and Waffle were the weaves chosen as the topic for the day. Very little waffle was in evidence in the show and tell though there were masses of examples in the collection from Cross Country Weavers.

| The cell-like texture of this piece evokes both waffle and honeycomb. |
 |
| CCW has built up a collection of waffle weave samples over the years. On top of the this heap is a nice one from our own Judy Bool. | |

 |
| We have not seen much honeycomb in our group in recent times but these vibrant cushions of Joan's look as fresh as they did several years ago when she made them. | | |

 |
| Also from Joan, and from even longer ago, this is a sleeve from a jacket, worn and worn and eventually deconstructed. It is a good as ever and would still fit Joan so it may possibly be put back together! |

 |
| This is the reverse showing the stranding of the pattern weft across the back. Various yarns have been used and even though some have fulled more than others, they all work together. |
|
 |
| Two samples from Rose showed double weave honeycomb, so there are no loose strands at the back; they are woven into another layer. The multi-coloured sample is a turned version. |
More photos to come in a few days.
