We finally get to the last two members to submit entries at the Nevada County Fair this year. We have so many talented Not2S members. Eileen is a newer member but has been a talented fiber artist for many years.
The first shawl was entered into the Nevada County Inspiration. The painted warp and plain weave structure really bring out the lovely colors of our county.
The next two shawls also really show some beautiful color. The multicolored shawl was woven with one skein of Vice yarn, a 80/20 merino/nylon blend. The second is a beautiful plaid, slightly fulled.

Our last weaver is Ingrid. She and Marcy have a friendly rivalry each year to see who can do better in the baby blanket category. Here's Ingrid's entry for this year as well as a lap robe. Both were woven with a mixed cotton warp using plain weave.

Ingrid submitted several scarves. This one was for the Nevada County Inspiration category. Her inspiration was our friend and mentor Dee. Most of the yarn and ribbon Ingrid used were Dee's and she wove the scarf using one of Dee's designs - plain weave edges with a ribbon supplementary warp and twill center.

The other two towels - one using a turned twill on 8 shafts (in pink) and the other plain weave using sock yarn.

Finally, Ingrid submitted a shawl woven from local alpaca yarn, woven in a point twill design.
So that's it for another Fair year, but there will be more updates on the Not 2 Squares before then.
