results of the onion skin dye pot

my latest (4th) weaving...



i learned so many tips while weaving this, or shall i say while warping!
in the end an alright piece of cloth, wool & linen, the wool remnant scraps from my stash, & the linen  i used for the warp was a shoe box of yarn my mom gave me after my aunt cleaned out her mother in laws crafting stuffs & it ended up here!

i jumped in, cut & sewed into a perfect tunic (with a little pocket).
i still can't believe it worked out.




i should take some better shots.
this was a dream of mine, to make yarns & cloth & sew a tunic.  it is something i wasn't sure if i would ever do.  
but i did!
and i am proud to have learned it all on my own.

  1. So much beauty!!! The skeins at the beginning are gorgeous...so many more than I had thought you'd dyed. Oh, the weavings you'll make! But your newest weaving is gorgeous...however you managed to take scissors to it, I'll never know, but it turned into something so incredible. Even better in real life! I'm happy you are accomplishing so much fibre art love!
