Finished the shawl. It's the first thing off the new Megado so very pleased indeed with the quality and especially the edges, considering I only wove about 2" test strip before I hemstitched the tassles.
It has a beautiful drape and it feels simply GORGEOUS!
I love Tencel. This is 8/2 (40wpi). Vivid colours; lovely sheen; silky touch and eco friendly. It's brilliant for colour and weave. I have some lovely linen (C4 Texere Yarns) which yields the same effects but Tencel is soooomuch easier to work with.
A blind man would be happy to see the shaft selection error
Dawn, from whom I bought the loom and who kindly gave me the yarns, has another 13 250g cones from Camilla Valley Farms range - lovely colours so I am buying them from her.
