six shaft huck lace shawl

huck_lace_shawl_closeup

This was one of my very early pieces, woven on an eight-shaft Baby Wolf during the four months or so that I owned it (I upgraded shortly thereafter to a 16-shaft Leclerc Diana).  It’s a six-shaft huck lace pattern, drawn from the book Handwoven Laces, woven in a 2/28 nm white silk.

I wove two of these shawls, one for Mike’s mom and one for his sister.
