Here's a photo of my warp from the last post. Some of the raddle sections show twisting. Some do not. I don't know that I did anything different from one warp chain to the next. If, or when, I figure this out, I'll let you know what I've discovered!
This is me in a newly finished vest. I dyed and spun the wool for this piece, then wove it as a plain weave section and a twill weave. I haven't been able to date spinning and weaving for this. The twill section had it's ends woven in like I learned in Joan Sheridan-Hoover's finishing class at the Michigan Fiber Festival in 2007. So I know this fabric was finished sometime after summer 2007... But when did I spin and weave it? I tried to sell it as yardage numerous times. I often thought that the twill and plain weave would make a great vest, but it wasn't until I put the twill on the front (I kept trying to use it as a yoke) that I had enough yardage to proceed.
The inside of the vest is finished with hong kong seam finishings--bias tape over the edges of the fabric at the seams. It looks neat and clean! Now I just have to decide if it is really mine or if I'm going to put it in the gallery for sale.
