Fascinating Fiberz

This unusual piece featured a pronounced diagonal pattern which is a result of an alternative method of warping taught by Maureen Dow of Cedar Hollow. This method of weaving also produces a tightly-packed weave which is wonderful when warmth is desired, and also has a great look when tossed over the back of a couch or armchair. Made of Lion Brand Jiffy, which has a fuzzy mohair-like appearance, but is actually easy-care washable acrylic, this piece measured 37″ on the long side by 26″ on the two short sides, excluding fringe.

The pictured shawl is no longer available for purchase, but a similar one could be made for you in your choice of colors. Estimated price - $35 plus $4.80 Priority Mail shipping, depending on yarn availability.

This large triangular piece with fringe was made in Lion Brand Homespun in a color called Gazebo (unfortunately now discontinued). Gazebo is a summery bouquet of pastels - pinks, soft violets and white. Homespun is silky and soft, but at the same time is washable for easy care.

(Please note that, in the left hand photo above, the dark section on the right side is a shadow, not a color variation.)

The pictured item is no longer available for purchase, but a similar piece can be made in a variety of color combinations. Price - $75 plus $4.80 Priority Mail shipping.
