Kereru

Kereru, New Zealand pigeon.
A masterpiece blanket in the making.  Below is the mohair weft drying in the morning sun.
23 different colours in the wool warp chains.
570 warp threads tied on and ready to beam on.
All on, smooth and ready to weave.  Woven double layer, silver, wine, pink on one layer with teals, greens on the other.  A mind bender keeping that flowing while tying on.
Weaving started.
Two blankets off the loom and waiting to have their tassels twiddled.
