There are more beautiful entries to see.
SueH wove the fabric for this coat and knitted the bias trim. Jill, the daughter of our late member, Dee Jones, did the tailoring. The fabric for the coat won a first prize for yardage at the Nevada County Fair in 2011.
Beryl has been busy using her 40-shaft loom. (I am so jealous!) She wove a towel and table runner on this loom. She used the techniques in the Echo and Iris book by Marian Stubenitsky.
Beryl's last piece is a scarf woven using her handspun cotton yarn. Beryl incorporated some Brooks Bouquet embellishments at the ends.
Igor entered the Nevada County Inspired category with a coffee shop inspired scarf. We have many coffee shops in the area and this bead leno piece, woven on 4 shafts is a nice representation. The straws for the bead leno technique were acquired from local cafes and coffee was inspiration for the mocha colored yarn.
Igor also entered a 3-shaft scarf. With only 3 shafts, the colors of the yarns bring the interest to the piece.
Last but certainly not least is Igor's first place shawl and Best of Weaving Division shawl. This lovely Japanese inspired piece is truly a winner. For more details, check out Banner Mountain Textile's blog: http://bannermountaintextiles.blogspot.com/2016/02/igors-japanese-inspired-shawl.html
There are more entries to show off, so stay tuned.

She also entered a shibori shawl. The weave structure is plain weave, 6/2 bamboo. After the pulling threads were gathered, the piece was painted three different times to get varying layers of color.
Another of Beryl's shibori pieces was a scarf. This scarf incorporated a polyester weft. She steam finished it so that the pleats would be permanent.  |
