This morning I went up to the annex and did some more pressing. The colours of the Fox Fibre yarns are actually a little more intense than shown here - guess the flash wiped some of the intensity out.
From the left - 50% green, 25% green, 50% brown, 25% brown, then regular 2/16 unmerc. cotton in cream and on the far right, natural white wefts. I was going to put some of the 'raw' yarn on the cloth to show the change in colour - and I forgot. Brain is truly not firing on all cylinders these days. :(
Three of the wraps are almost ready to go. I still have to sew the Fox Fibre label onto the two FF wraps that are ready, measure them and attach the care/hang tag. The other three will get sewn some time this week, depending on how I feel after Wednesday.
In the meantime I have a long list of things that need to be done yet, including threading the guild loom on Monday, drive mom to her doctor's appointment and so on. I'm still hoping to get the silk scarf warp sleyed and tied on today but it doesn't look like I'll get any weaving done. We'll see how things go on Monday - hopefully I can at least get the first scarf started.
My web master made a truly Herculean effort last week and it looks like he's getting very close to finalizing the transfer of Magic to digital format.
Since word of mouth is the most effective marketing tool I'd appreciate it if you, dear readers, would pass the word that Magic will be available sometime in September in digital format. I'm taking names and making up a contact list to let people know when I have cd's in hand and available to ship. For those who prefer a 'real' book with actual fabric samples - there are still 14 abridged copies of Magic left. They are listed on my Art Fire store http://laurafry.artfire.com/
People on my contact list will receive their copies of digital Magic first, then I will be listing it on my Art Fire store as well.

I just love the way the threading/treadling interact with the warp stripes! Beautiful cloth.
Laura - what a lovely series!
