Fabric Off the Loom



Got the first of 5 fabrics for a Tibetan panel coat done. It will eventually be apiece for my COE-W part 2 and have kumihimo braids all over it. The theme for the coat is "Fire Dragon." This fabric is a Swedish lace, with orange and red in the warp and yellow in the weft. I had a towel from a sample exchange that always reminded me of living flame, even when I would randomly happen to take the towel out of my linen closet. This fabric is based on that. It is 20 ends per inch and 15 picks per inch. Yarns were all around 2000 yd./lb. and ranged from 6/2 to 5/3. Wove 5+ yd., 11 inches wide.
