It stole the show !

This Ladies’ Wrap (or Shawl or Stole) will certainly make a statement, with a generous size of approximately 40cm wide, 260cm long (plus twizzled fringes), hand-woven with hand-spun yarns, and made with luxury fibres – fine wools from Shetland, Masham and Merino sheep, and natural tussah silk.
Woven as a balanced twill weave, and relatively ‘open’, the wrap or shawl drapes beautifully. The colours evoke a sparkling sunny summer’s day in the Outer Hebrides – the colours and light of the time and place in which this garment was brought into being.

Denise, your weaving is lovely! I am so glad to have had the chance to see your weaving pictures. What a beautiful shawl!
Did you spin the silk warp? I enjoy seeing how the weft and warp interact. A good simple twill has always been my favorite weave structure. It sure shows off the weft colors well.
It’s just beautiful! And I love seeing the process photos of the weaving!
D > I forgot to take some closeups of threading the heddles and reed, and working with the shuttle.
That is incredibly beautiful. Wow!
D > Thank you – it’s lovely to get some feedback!
Maybe someday we’ll come to the Outer Hebrides and stay in one of your cottages. 🙂
D > It would be a welcome change to have a guest that understands and appreciates what we do.
