My first finished project on my Triangle Loom was this Raggedy Ro Shawl.
The Shawl is created with my Raggedy Ro Hand Spun Yarn. Weaving using hand spun yarns gives me a feeling of closeness to the fiber. It feels like magic running through my fingers.
I made several mistakes on this firs project. Being a newbie I didn't realize that after I took the wrap off the loom that it would be about a size smaller. I of course wrapped the warp tighter than I should have. After viewing the beginning of the Tri-Loom Video I realized how loose to wrap the yarn while working. Joanne Manginelli brought over her Video and I was able to see to weave a looser weave.
After watching the beginning of the Carol Leigh Brack-Kaiser's video workshop I realized that if I want to work more with this wonderful loom I need to order a copy for myself. I did that and it will be coming in the mail soon. The workshop includes how to create Shawls, Blankets, Jackets and More. Carol states, "This loom dresses itself! Weaving is done with a continuous strand of yarn for both warp and weft, by weaving loops inside previous loops, to create beautiful, imaginative body drapes, ponchos, and more." http://www.hillcreekfiberstudio.com/
I left only a few fringes -- I might add more. These fringes are from adding new colors or yarn when one would run out.
Each fringe is corded with four strands using the Leclerc French Twister. I love that tool! I use it for my Fiber Amulet Bags as well.
I couldn't help but place the Rowena Wrap on my Jensen Saxony Wheel.
Now I must get busy and weave a project for the Mountain Spinners and Weavers Show at the Yavapai College. Joanne Manginelli is organizing this show and it will be as always a great hit for the Guild.
