Taryl, you're right that those clamps aren't very attractive(!) *lol* But they did the trick and kept the adapted piece in place very well. <BR/><BR/>I did full the ruana quite a bit. I used my top loading washing machine and checked the progress every few minutes. It was open like the teddy bear shawl when I started, but fulled to a more solid, dense fabric. It shrunk more than I'd hoped, but there was nothing I could do about that. It was the very first thing I fulled and so the whole process was quite nerve racking. I'm glad I took the plunge however.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-36478345391321837162007-08-25T13:18:00.000-05:002007-08-25T13:18:00.000-05:00Do you ever sleep, Woman?

It turned out very nice and the edges look nice and uniform, the drape is also lovely.<BR/><BR/>How much fulling did the ruana go through? A couples rinses and some agitation, or more aggressive treatment? I definitely prefer the post-fulled look, it made the fabric seem much more rich.<BR/><BR/>I go away for three days and you just post up a storm :) Oh, and the teddy looks nice and warm too. I usually use my tri-loom for leftover yarn bits from my handspun so I had nearly forgotten what a more uniform product looks like! Clever adaptation there, the clamps aren't the um... most fashionable accessory to the stand but it looks like it worked well. Did you have any problems with that side slipping at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-24197704159142131362007-08-24T20:02:00.000-05:002007-08-24T20:02:00.000-05:00Wow Leigh, They're so beautiful.

Some times the feel of wool can be a little harsh against your skin. Just goes to show us we don't need a large multi harness loom to weave something beautiful.bspinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385723696922637454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-20653861885407393442007-08-23T05:58:00.000-05:002007-08-23T05:58:00.000-05:00Something did happen to blogger! the servers were ...Something did happen to blogger! the servers were down yesterday.
