Handwoven Auracauna Shawl
comments (0) July 4th, 2010 in galleryI am naming this shawl after a fellow etsian at www.AuracaunaDesigns.etsy.com
Her yarn inspired me to complete this shawl.
There are three yarns used in this shawl and two of them are reclaimed. One by Auracauna Designs(the solid purple)and one by myself(the multi-colored). There is also a bright pink yarn as well, yes I purchased that one!
For those of you that don't know, reclaimed yarn comes from old sweaters, blankets, or anything else knitted or crocheted. These are carefully taken apart, washed and reused. The results are stunning!
This shawl is handwoven on my rigid heddle loom.
The measurements are approx:
The width is 16 3/4" by 75" long plus 3 1/2" fringe
The INGREDIENTS are for the Warp & Weft:
Purple Yarn - 35% Acrylic, 35% Nylon, 23% Wool and 7% Angora
Multi-Colored Yarn - 57% Cotton and 43% Acrylic
Pink Yarn - 69% Cotton and 31% Rayon
Please Handwash in Cool Water
