Each of the shades is woven as a block across the weft and warp. I like several of the colourways, so will have to decide which one or two I'm going to use in the final cloth.
Here's a closeup of the pattern. A broken twill which appears as an embossed texture across the warp. The sunshine in the room has washed out the colours in the photos, they are a little deeper in real life.
A recent trip to Milton and we went back over the North East Valley road. You look down on the beautiful harbour and Port Chalmers where we lived for a couple of years.
The water was like a mirror, perfect for a photo or two.

Then on to the Qualityarns spinning mill housed in the old Bruce Woollen mill. Picked up some fibre and weaving yarns. Its a great shop and the yarns are so reasonably priced. This is the mill that spins all the Flagstaff alpaca yarns I get to dye and play with. They do a great job so the long wait sometimes is worth it.
