Early Tuesday morning (12:17 AM) I finally cut this weaving off the loom.Early Wednesday morning (8:30 AM), I walk out the door for 10 days in the Bay Area.
I apologize for not having more pictures of the process or more explanation. All I can say is I played around with many cashmere colors and had a great time. I tossed this piece in the washing machine (gentle cycle cold water) and then in the dryer on low. (Yes, I said I put cashmere into the dryer!) Someone once told me to pop a tennis ball (or 3) into the dryer along with the piece. I happened to have one tennis ball, so I put it in. I don't know if the tennis ball made any difference, but the shawl came out softer and more wonderful than any of the other bamboo/cashmere weavings I have laundered.
Here is the happy recipient! It came out exactly as she had hoped.
I wish you all could feel the bamboo/cashmere combination. It is heavenly. I will answer any questions you post, but it is getting close to midnight. I really haven't begun to pack and am starting to run out of steam.I am planning to check my blog along the way.
Happy Whatever Holiday You Celebrate!

Very very nice! I do wish I could touch it.
Beautiful! Luscious colors. And yes, it's too bad we can't touch!
Stunning!
