Wendy-Marie had a great idea for her Nevada County Inspired entry into this year's fair. Wheels of many sorts and sizes. Engine Wheels - Wagon Wheels - Pelton Wheels and Ferris Wheels.
She also had the perfect draft - an 8 shaft combination of steep and point twills. Shown below are two variations. This is an easy draft to make larger if you have more than 8 shafts on your loom.
And, ta da, the finished scarf. Wendy-Marie didn't get a prize for her scarf, but her idea was sure a prize winner and I bet it won't be the last time she weaves wheels!
Thank you so much! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the fiber and sett? I love them!!
ReplyDeleteFiber:

Weft is tencel (3360 ypp) - Silver Grey
You could also use tencel for the warp, I was just using the yarn that I had.
Sett is 24 epi.
So glad you like this.
