The next warp to be beamed on the dobby loom is a recycling project. I gathered up all the spools and cones of silk leftovers in shades of blue, green, and violet.

The cloth will be woven in plain weave at 32-34 epi, with occational picks of a lycra blend yarn so the finished cloth will collapse into pleats and wrinkles.
At the point I took the photo, I'd completed 4 sections (out of 15 total):
