More from the County Fair 2024

 Mardi entered several items in this year’s fair.   

The wool scarf was woven with her hand spun yarn. She wove it on a rigid heddle loom for a demonstration, just to see if it would work out.  She decided to finish and enter it.


 

The overshot scarf was woven with a natural 8/2 cotton and the wefts were a chocolate-colored Zephyr and an autumn orange 20/2 silk.


 

The green and white scarf, an entry in the county inspired division, was inspired by our native dogwood trees.  The draft was by Rebecca Logan - number 79333 on Handweaving.net.  It was woven with 8/2 Tencel white, and variegated greens from Webs.




 The towel structure is halvdrall, woven with 8/2 cotton.


 

The Tablet weaving band was her first attempt.  She decided to make bookmarks out of band.




Karen entered some color and weave cotton towels and a band - all in black and white.
