\"Beginning<\/a>

Beginning to weave one of the fingers on Clarissa’s latest Chilkat robe “Egyptian Thunderbird” – August 2015<\/p><\/div>\n

I dye my own weft yarns in shades of golden yellow and a variety of blues. \u00a0A couple of years ago I was trying to dye a beautiful turquoise, however, the yarns were unevenly dyed: \u00a0I panicked! \u00a0I couldn’t believe it; how come this was happening!? \u00a0I did everything by the book: \u00a0I mixed the colors evenly, I gave a gentle wash in gentle soapy lukewarm water after I had soaked the yarns for a few hours, I consistently stirred the pot!—And then to top it off, I was so enthralled by the beautiful deepening colors, I just kept stirring! \u00a0HELLO!? \u00a0Finally, I snapped out of my self-induced panic spell and snatched the yarns out of the dye pot!<\/p>\n

And being the resourceful person that I can be, I wasn’t about to throw out dollars worth of yarns, so I saved it for a rainy day.<\/p>\n

That rainy day came. \u00a0I have used these unevenly dyed weft yarns for this present day robe I have been weaving this year. \u00a0Using a Ravenstail technique within a Chilkat form, I am having a blast. \u00a0Stay tuned for more close-ups of the robe as I move along with the weave in between all else that I am up to these days! \u00a0I am carrying on as usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
