Weaving for Fabric

I starting weaving a new project today.


My Mom thought it would be nice to have handwoven fabric to make new cushions for her dining room chairs. I put 8 yards of warp on the loom. 


I am using some Harrisville Designs Shetland wool to weave. In the colours Cornflower (warp) and Suede (weft).


This is the underside. The pattern is "Derivation of the Twill - Warp Chevron" by Oscar Bériau, published in 1939. I found it in the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of Hand Woven magazine (the Oscar Tote by Beth Mullins). It is a really nice pattern to weave - thank goodness because there is lots to weave.

-40ºC with the windchill this morning.
It was much nicer when we went for our evening walk.

All the best!♥︎
