THE NEW WARP

An alpaca chalked onto a concrete wall.

The new warp is green, cool, the color of lichens and shaded moss, the color of celadon porcelain, all the watered hues of seaglass found tumbled in basalt on my shore, the color of the ocean itself, even the sparks of orange and gold reflect sunshine and shadow, the turning of waves pounding water and plankton into white foam, the sky carrying clouds, mist that floats above the ground snagged in the heads of evergreens and over sand, the way light carries us onward through night and back out of dreams into our day.

    • I had to use yarn from a different spinner/dyer (a local dyer) leftover from another project to get that green. The hardest thing was finding pales to get the pattern. I am out of my reliable tints of pale violet and sage green. I am mostly scraping the bottom of my Koigu tubs to find what I want—using what I have. Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue are way down with not enough to wind a warp, not even by combining. Brown and Purple and Orange still have enough for warp, not necessarily for weft. I’ve borrowed handspun and from the remaining Blue bin for weft on this one. Once I thought of it as seaglass colors, I realized that would work.
