I wanted to start by doing something quick to check if everything was working as it should. As I am not a person who samples, a plain weave chunky project was called for. A sleeveless vest, quick and easy. To add interest, three colours were used - green, navy and violet, all very pale, alternating in both the warp and weft so as not to get a striped effect. In the process, I learned a little about batch dying, something I have never done before, preferring a random effect so as to hide any unevenness of colour.The resulting fabric was pleasing and the loom worked well with no further adjustments necessary.
After almost 2 years the jacket is finally finished. Good timing for the year of the garment.

Well done, enjoy wearing it.
Good going Noelene. You are first to get a big tick! Now we'd like to see you wearing it.
That's great, Noelene. Love to see a close-up of the weave. I really must get my skates on and start my jacket project.
How come the world gets to see this before the locals?? Well done Noeline - especially as that sounds like 3 shuttle weaving!
