INITIAL TRIAL WASHED AND PRESSED

Posted by Peg in South Carolina 

Trial sample modelled

A quick and dirty shot reflected in the mirror. 

I am much happier with this sampling than I was when it was on the loom.  Washing in very hot soapy water followed by hard pressing on a wooden board has resulted in a fabric that is delicate and drapes beautifully.  I now believe it will be very worthwhile to take my time to get the color decisions and the weaving right.
