Notes

Warp is Fine Art in Raven colorway. I pooled it, though it’s subtle, especially with the closely beaten weft. The fringe is the most obvious place to see the pooling - one end is reddish purple, the other dark blueish purple.

Weft is Colourmart 2/28 cashmere, doubled. It started out Pepto Bismol pink and I overdyed it with navy liquid Rit to get the purple.

150 ends on my 12-dent reed. I forgot to measure it before wet finishing, but it did shrink in width to its current 9.5”.

This is the kind of thing I imagined making before getting a loom and it’s my favorite woven item so far. It is sooooo soft and yummy, plus I love the color.
