Description
This shawl was the fulfillment of a vision Susan had for some time. She wanted to create a wearable using handspun silk, hand-dyed, and woven using a structure that would highlight both the warp and the weft, along with having lots of color movement and wonderful drape. She designed this piece as a block weave. The warp blocks are created by using a mock satin tie-up, and the weft blocks use a 3-1 twill. It’s beautiful and drapey.
