Alpaca scarf weaving

I decided to 'un-weave' the sample I had done and re-adjust the tension before starting to weave again.  The process was relatively straight forward, although the 'hairiness' of the Alpaca meant that the weft tended to catch as it was drawn through the warp, which made it slower.

Once back to warp I retied some of the warp threads to even it up and used cardboard spacers before weaving just a small tabby header.

Weaving commenced for real

 And the dyed pillow cases have now been washed and ironed - they came out well - using only the blues and grey from the original colours of Ireland selection.
