Notes

“Colors shone with exceptional clarity in the rain. The ground was a deep black, the pine branches a brilliant green, the people wrapped in yellow looking like special spirits that were allowed to wander over the earth on rainy mornings only.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

May 25 I’ve been wanting to weave something that takes up close to the full width of my 60” loom for a long time, so I’m super excited to work on this custom wrap with an on-loom width of 52”!

The yarn in this project is a couple of my favourite worsted weights, Cascade 220 and Malabrigo Rios <3

I am loving every minute of working on this piece.

June 8 Finished up today … what a joy to work on this amazing piece, the colours are incredible and it feels so dreamy! Its size and warmth remind me of cuddling up on a rainy day, and when I found the Murakami quote above, I thought it fit quite perfectly!
