The last few weeks my loom has seen a flurry of use. SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair<\/a>) happened at the end of October and I brought back yarn for a commission project. After I posted Keeping with a Theme<\/a> last January, I was approached about doing something similar, but in a blue jeans color pallet. This however was easier said than done, since finding a specific colorway can prove quite challenging. In the process I tried quite a few new things. First, I tried dying some rayon using an indigo dye. I tried to create a color gradient, but failed to take into account how strongly indigo would bind to the rayon, so really, the yarn ended up as an uneven but not gradient blue. I laid this into an overshot pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
