The yarn was measured for the warp; hand dyed using several different colors, producing a variegated effect. Approximately 25 yards of fabric is woven from each warp that is dyed. The fringe it is hand twisted. All fabric is machine washed and dried after the item is woven.

My favorite part is watching as the thread weave together creating subtle shading changes. While weaving I can only see about 12 inches of finished fabric. After weaving it's exciting to watch the fabric wind off the loom.

The poncho can be worn three/four ways. Side over the left shoulder, over the right shoulder, seam in front (as a scarf) or in the back. The yarn for the warp and weft were both hand dyed. As a result fabric has subtle color variations. Each way it is worn will look slightly different.

It can be worn as a poncho, scarf, or draped as a cowl.

Fiber: Tencel yarn is soft and drapes well. It breathes and can be worn in all seasons: under a coat in the winter over a sundress or top in the spring, summer, or fall.
