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

Weaving

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.
