Interleaved Echo Weave Shawl woven on 16 shafts, pearl cotton warp, cashmere/silk/merino weft, 2016

Interleaved Echo Weave Shawl woven on 16 shafts, pearl cotton warp, cashmere/silk/merino weft, 2016 (close-up)

To design this 16-shaft echo weave shawl, I interleaved two networked threadings.  Purple and orange pearl cotton yarns alternate in the warp and the weft is a light green cashmere/silk/merino yarn.  When woven, these three colors mix in different proportions to create a wider range of colors.  There’s more info about this type of weave in my post, “Interleaved Echo Weave.”

Networked Twill Scarf woven on 16 shafts, Tencel & cotton, 2016

This is a scarf I wove on 16 shafts using a variegated colored Tencel warp and a solid colored weft.  I designed a networked draft so that the design looks like it may be a painted warp but it’s not!

The four-color double weave sample shown above that I designed and wove on 12 shafts and 16 treadles is one of several samples I wove as I was learning about this amazing weave.  I wrote about my experience with this weave in a post with photos of other samples and a draft at this link.
