Weaving with Renaissance Crewel Wool

While at the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching Show, We were visited by one of this year's course participants, Christine Holman. She brought with her a beautiful blanket that she had woven with the crewel wool she had dyed on the course with varying depths of indigo.

Here it is on her loom, she tied up 1300 ends and not one broke.

One feel of this wonderful piece of weaving spurred fellow weavers to buy wool for their own projects. Thank you Christine, for sharing this with us all, also for the help with manning the stall. I am glad you survived the wool avalanche!
