It's 8 feet long. At first I thought that was way to long, but once I started playing with it and wearing it, I realized it was a very nice length. It's 18.5 inches wide.

Long Overshot Wrap
I finished!!! It took me a while, but that's mostly because I'm busy these days and it sat on the loom with only about three inches done for two weeks. Once I started weaving and had the treadle pattern memorized, it went pretty quickly.

I used up all the thread - all 1400 yards of it! The thread is thick, so it makes a wonderful cold weather wrap. I'm looking forward to winter now!

Jakob put it well when he came over as I was admiring your talent. He said, WOW! That's Nice! Really, it's more then nice, it's Awesome!!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lena. I wish you could see the beautiful pattern that is woven into it, but it's hard to see with the colored thread. Still, I LOVE the colors in the thread. It matches most everything I wear, purple, blue, black.....
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Crazy how one day you just became a weaver. Dreamer weaver, I believe you can get me through the ni-hight. That song comes in my head every time I say the word weaver.
