I love saori weaving as a way of exploring how to combine colours and textures in ways not seen in most woven items - it's a very creative process! First I rummage in my wool stash to come up with the sequence of colours I would like to use; often this then requires some spinning extra bespoke yarns to aid the merging from one colour to the next. I'll then look for different textures (eg textured cotton, dyed fleece, sari silk threads and ribbons, glitter yarn) that could either blend in or provide a punch of complementary colour alongside the main colour variation. The end result is never planned out in detail, but all part of an improvisation while weaving at the loom.

Full description
This unique wall hanging was hand-woven on a Japanese loom in the 'saori' style of creative weaving. Using a simple black cotton warp as the basis, the colours all come from the wide variety of yarns used in the weft - hand-spun wool, dyed fleece locks, ribbons of recycled ribbons of recycled sari silk and sari silk waste threads.The main colours gently blend and merge from orange and yellow at the top of the hanging, through whites, blues, teals to a range of green at the lower end. Complementary colours are included in small bursts of sari silk; and short extra warps in a irregular white slub cotton add vertical lines of loops in places. The occasional addition of sparkly thread to the weft catch the light. A rod with a loop is inserted at the top for easy hanging of this decorative weaving. The hanging is 155 x 39 cm in size (excluding the fringe) , weighs 330g, and is not meant to be washed! Sadly the rubber plant is not available for purchase.
