ocean sunset II

By Tien Chiu | Published: September 2, 2009

This shawl is created using a knitted blank and a warp dyed in 29 colors. Knitted blanks are an interesting concept taught to me by Nancy Roberts of Machine Knitting to Dye For. You knit up a rectangular piece of fabric, dye it, and then unravel it and reuse the yarn. Using this technique you can get gradual color changes WITHOUT having to dye a zillion skeins, which is exactly what I did!

black jewel

This is another shawl woven on the 2/28 silk warp, with colors that gradually transition from turquoise to fuchsia and back again. It is woven with a black cashmere weft and is SO soft and sensuous against the skin! It is one of my favorites, and I wear it often.

ocean sunset shawl

By Tien Chiu | Published: September 2, 2009

The shawl is made from 2/28 nm silk dyed in 60 colors (!) – 29 in the warp and 21 in the weft. It is woven in stripes, each stripe so similar in color to its neighbors that the transition appears seamless. There are 58 stripes in the warp and far more in the weft. Each warp stripe is only 1/2″ wide!
