My design was inspired by the beautiful ‘Protea’ photo sent to me by Julie. I wove a scarf in 100% silk and it measures 18 x 200 cm.
This is the 16s draft and I wove it on my LeClerc Weavebird.

Silk? And it looks very soft! Is it? And yet it has the spikiness of proteas. I love it. Are you keeping it or selling it or giving it away? Do you love it??
Yes Meg, it’s beautiful and soft even though it looks rough. Here’s a link to the silk http://habutextiles.com/A-1 It is described as 2/17 tsumugi ?? so what does that mean?
Yes, I’m very happy with it and thank you for all your hard work and another great p2p project Xxx
I’m not sure what I’m doing with it yet, I suppose I will sell it…..
“Tsumugi” means spun, “te-tsumugi” means hand-spun, so I’m guessing in this case this is just a brand/product name, but my mother knows this company, I think she visited them once and gave me something, so I could ask.
Very effective. The colours and the draft work really well at reflecting the photo.
Congrats also on your run – very impressive

High class Shirley after all your inspirations! Beautiful. jjx
Drum roll indeed, you’ve captured the protea excellently. Beautiful.
That’s lovely. Those tropical colours are really warming me up! And the structure captures the shape of the flower beautifully.
I love your design Shirley. You have captured the texture and the colour of the protea so well. The silk looks lovely. Is it quite fine?
Such a good and close rendition of the colours and the weave pattern picking up the textures. Beautiful!
The pattern really shows up the delicate-ness of the feathery flower petals!
