Christine's most recent interest is weaving rayon chenille scarves and
shawls. |

Chenille gives a pliability and
drape that is unique to the yarn.
Color combinations used in the warp and weft interact to produce
elegant, yet subtle, patterns and montages.
These pieces are woven at 12 ends per inch. |

Weaving
| Rayon, which
was originally developed during WW2 as a replacement for silk, is a
plant fiber processed in a similar manner to how silk worms digest
mulberry leaves. The creation of rayon fibers incorporates the use
of cellulose fibers (from trees) and cotton linters. Rayon fibers
have a sheen that catches the light and radiates color, in effect the
way silk fibers do. Chenille is a most unusual thread since it has been twice
woven. After its first weaving, chenille is cut into strips along the length of
small groups of warp threads, almost like miniature ladders. The gentle loft and texture of chenille results from the
extending edges of weft attached to each strand.
