Somehow I never got around to, or never had the courage to start on this project. This winter, I always said it was a winter project, I am serious!
As one of my crafts is natural dyeing, the wool that I wool be using will be dyed with natural dyes, by me.
I bought this really nice and soft lamswool from wollknoll.de which is quite thick for the weft.
And thinner and stronger woollen yarn, also from wollknoll, for the warp.
Both yarns will be dyed in two colors, madder red/orange and walnut husk brown, to create a blocked pattern.
I try to keep the whole project as easy as possible as it is my first serious attempt at weaving.



Today I bought the book wrtitten by Paula Dietz, Schering and inslag. For directions on how to set up the loom and how to weave, because frankly I haven't got an idea of what I am doing ;-)
