After the ruana project (which still has not been sewn, fringed, or washed) it was a relief to do something easier. This project was inspired by this Van Gogh painting.
I dyed yarn. This is Jaggerspun Superlamb, a washable Merino yarn. I usually don’t leave white spaces in the space-dyed yarn, but there is a lot of white in the painting so I thought that I needed it here.
I warped the loom for two blankets in an advancing twill.
The color in the detail shot is more true. It’s a soft blanket with a nice drape.





It’s gorgeous. I LOVE how it turned out.
Cool! You’re so artistic! It looks great!
The show will be very inspiring to weavers, soon-to-be-weavers and others!
I think this is the coolest project I’ve seen in a long time. Weaving to famous paintings… Just a really neat thing. I think your show will be a big hit!
