Just for fun, I wove a bunch of different twill patterns and some colorful plain weave stripes. I&#8217;ll admit, when this was on the loom I wasn&#8217;t certain what to think of it, especially because, once again, I forgot that a floating selvedge can be a friend. Off the loom, washed, dried on the radiator, and with the fringes twisted, I suddenly liked it. A lot! It&#8217;s my happy January scarf, something that adds a splash of color to the wintry world.<\/p>\n<p>Moral of the story is to weave with wool. It&#8217;s always fun. I really like wool. And the local flavor makes it even more delightful.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Goldenrod\" href=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2890\/11785048496_90ab78185a.jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Goldenrod\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2890\/11785048496_90ab78185a.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, I visited Avalanche Looms and came away with this locally-produced wool.
