I taught a v-shawl class last week. It’s always fun to see the variety in these shawls. The v-shawl is warped for double weave. The fronts of the shawl are woven with two shuttles and the back is woven by cutting one pair of warp threads at a time and weaving them in as weft.
Tina chose natural colored Rambouillet and Jacob yarns.
Jackie used brown Rambouillet and a space-dyed yarn for accent.
Marilyn used softball cotton in natural and tan with accents of ribbon and a novelty yarn.
Yolanda has space-dyed wool yarn with a blue stripe.
These are the shawls right off the loom so there has been no finishing of fringes.
The back view shows the designs that you get from the warp stripes.
Thanks again Robin! That was so much fun and I’m already getting a ton of compliments on my shawl.
You girls did a wonderful job. They look great.
The shawls are beautiful and also the SMILES of the models are outstanding. It makes me want to travel out there and hang out with your guys! What fun.
What an incredible fun class! It’s now completely finished – washed and ends tied! I’m now starting another one!! Thanks again Robin!!
