Differential Shrinkage

Tussah Silk & Alpaca

What happens when a mistake turns into the most beautiful handwoven scarf. I learnt how to weave for differential shrinkage many years ago. This piece came about by accident, but allowed me to explore the technique further and arrive at one of my most favourite pieces ever. Woven using tussah silk as the warp and alpaca wool as weft.
