Kay Hansen brought an interesting old blanket woven from hand spun wool, the wool coming from sheep raised on her grandmother’s Lindsay, Ontario farm. The green blanket was embroidered with couched and tufted wool in the shapes of colorful leaves and flowers.

Cindy Lou Ellis wove a green plaid blanket out of acrylic boucle yarn.

Jo Anne Ryeburn wore a colorful vest and shawl woven using the Silk Studio’s silk-linen blend. The warp for these was painted in bright gold, wine and green and woven with a blue weft. It was threaded to a two block twill and woven “window pane” style. The shawl was sett and beaten at 24/inch while the vest fabric was sett and beat at 36/inch.
