Tales from the Loom: Bamboo Warp 12

Warp ArchiveDeanna LynchComment

Woven with tencel and bamboo yarns with 8 harnesses on my Macomber loom. This run of yardage was a little wider on the loom and I was more generous with the lengths that I cut for tops. I was testing out some thoughts I had about making this top even more versatile in sizing. The twill and the fine yarn allow for such a beautiful drape.

I remember I was thinking a lot about fall colors - drying leaves, dark nights, deep golden grasses - when I was weaving this yardage. The large areas of color blocking turned out beautifully.

This came off the loom in October 2018.

I lost several very important people in my life between May - August 2018. It was a challenging and dark time. I continue to be amazed our capacity to hold so much loss and love in a lifetime.
