Grey Wool Shawl #1

yesterday, in the midst of packing up for Santa Monica, I spent just a few minutes weaving on the grey wool warp. From the driver's seat, the design hardly shows at all:



However, if I move to the side and the direction of the light is just right, the design shows up quite clearly:



It's a case of now you see it, now you don't. It will be interesting to find out whether the effect survives wet finishing. Sometimes, the results after wet finishing are a surprise.

I'm weaving this shawl with the merino/tencel blend weft yarn, which is darker than the warp. This means that the cloth looks like a film negative of the draft, in which the weft is white and the warp black. Logical, though sometimes confusing.
