I had camnesia and forgot to take pics of the fini I had camnesia and forgot to take pics of the finishing process. 😒 I finished weaving Tigertooth yesterday, cut it from the loom and fixed a few floats. Then I trimmed and twisted fringe for a couple hours and wet finished at 1am. It dried overnight, had a little photo shoot this morning and went off to the @weaversguildcincinnati guild house to go in the exhibit of member’s projects that will be on display for a couple months. I’m really happy with it, but probably won’t be wearing it till next year. @fiberopticyarns #rigidheddleweaving #rigidheddle #weaversofinstagram #cincymakers #cincyarts #cincinnati

They need a wet finish, but I’m pretty sure they came out too large for the intended recipient. It’s a good thing I have a whole cone of the yarn.
