Woven Shibori

This is what I'm working on at the moment, some woven shibori scarves for the Just for Us Originals event on April 5  wShibori_partially_gatheredww.just-for-us.biz   As mentioned in a previous post, the weaving is finished, but now the real work begins.  These are a couple of the scarves that I have dyed before gathering up the fishing line supplementary wefts.  Looking closely you should be able to see the glistening of the fishing line.  I did find some that was a dark gray colour in Florida that I thought might be easier to see as I weave. I found it at a Pro Bass store so you may also be able to find it here.  The colour helped a little, especially when I was weaving in Shibori_gatherednatural light during the day. I don't always dye the fabric before gathering it up, but for this series of 7 I want to try and make each of them quite different in colour as the patterning from the shibori will all be similar. I'll keep you posted with phot os as I go.
