Gla’hål och vävfall

Or: "happy-hole" and "weave fall" - . Gla’hål is what it is called (in Swedish) when you can see the warp beam. Traditionally this is cause for a special coffee pause, but as I drink coffee all the time anyway, and don’t like sweets, I just went on to the next part of the weaving: testing all kinds of unlikely colour combinations.



The dark olive combined with the light green gave a quite nice result, I think. (Nothing is finished before it’s wet finished, and that goes for samples, too!)

Vävfall is the cut-off time (goes with another special coffee, traditionally). I cut off 4 double scarves, all slightly different (with another mug of plain coffee):


Here is part of the colour, hm, "gamp"?


Now I only have to make the fringes, wet finish and mangle...

If you say it fast it doesn't sound like so much?
cheers,

At least know that (with luck) I don't *have* to "waste time" with warping the, hm, "correct"(?) way...

Fired up with all that coffee you should rattle through it!

I love the scarves.
