• Let’s Talk Weaving!

  I did a thing.

  Posted by Sandra Lincoln on September 22, 2023 at 5:16 pm

  So I finally dyed my warps for an Echo weave class I took with Denise Konvat. I am thrilled with how it came out. Now to figure out how to warp it. Since I warp front to back, I am going to have to do it back to front. My tip for dying, be sure to put on gloves, even when you are rinsing, lol I did not bother to put them on when I rinsed,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I have gray hands. purple nails. Wet pics, and dry I am very happy with the colors, despite my red is more pink/orange.

  Fun! It is difficult to get a true red. Your red and orange skeins are pretty.

    It was such a pretty red when it was wet I just wished it had stayed that way. But you are right red is one of the hardest colors. Black sometimes looks purple. I have to get my daughter-in-law’s shawl done before I warp this.

    I do not have a draft set in stone yet, I am so excited to do these warps, but they have to come after Christmas gifts are done. I will likely use a draft of Marian Stubenisky’s either from Echo and Iris or Max 8 . So it will be a while.

    lol There was a lady on my Facebook group who dyed some yarn indigo, lol a couple of days before her daughter’s wedding. lol we all laughed at her and told her to wear white evening gloves. lol then I did the same thing only I had to go to work. Not pretty.

    The colors in those warps are a very pleasant surprise. And with all my fussing over how I was going to warp them, my girlfriend had just taken a class doing the same thing, she told me how she did it and I warp the same way she does, cos she taught me, so I am no longer fretting the warping. Yeah.
