Technical Blocks- Weave







Just had our final block which was weave. It was funny because just as I had done in knit I really loved using the chunky loom because I became more involved with what types of yarns I used. Unfortunately on this loom you can't seem to do lots of the patterns because of the way its threaded so I made up quite a few. Also, on the sample where I dyed the wool this was very time consuming as it took ages to dry. It also came out quite patchy. I'm really pleased with the effect I got by brushing the mohair sections with a wire brush once I had cut them from the loom.
