The weaving is now racing along - with over half of the first one finished.

In the photo the structure is a little clearer now. With nice soft chunky roving stripes between tabby shots - that just show the colour variations in the warp (visible above the fell line and roving shot).
In between weaving sessions Anne is now churning out new batts from the mountain of flicked wool she has accumulated. It's fairly fast as the wool is so aligned that a couple of runs through the drum carder produces a nice 1.5oz batt ready to be stretched into roving.

While all this is going on I've been doing a final clean of the Leclerc Dorothy table loom (reed) to get it ready to weave a scarf for Isabel - I've ordered the yarn from Yarn Barn of Kansas. I'll be using the same orlon I used for the baby blanket which will make a nice 'drapey' scarf - in three shades of lilac and a blue. More to follow on that.
