Twill Star Shawl, pearl cotton, 24x78, 2005
“Twill Star” is sometimes referred to as a “pinwheel” pattern. The weaving draft of this pattern looks ordinary but when it’s actually woven the twirling stars emerge, even more so after the cloth has been finished by washing and ironing. From far away, optical mixture makes it appear like the colors blend into one another.

When you look closely, you can see the individual colors next to one another.
Rep Weave Runner, pearl cotton, 15x40, 2007 (with details)
This rep weave table runner is a warp-faced weave where the weft is covered by the warp. I repeated certain blocks of weaves to create the pattern. To learn more about warp rep, I wove a set of 4-shaft placemats and another 16-shaft table runner and posted images, drafts, and notes here.
Shadow Weave Chenille Shawl, 24x76, 2007
The chenille I used to weave this shawl is variegated in color. Shadow weave, a plain weave structure, adds a subtle quality to the softness of this cloth.
