Wedding Shawls

I have been weaving wedding shawls for the last week. I used an 80% alpaca and 20% silk yarn as the warp. The weft is an extremely fine silk yarn that my Mom bought for me in India. This yarn is about 1/2 the size of sewing thread. Weaving the 2 shawls with such a fine yarn is taking a long time!

Finally Weaving!

Once I wet finish this shawl it will be less shear than is is now. The shawls are extremely light and delicate. They will be beautiful when finished!
