I'm off to the loom to work on some chenille hand-dyed warps for scarves for a wholesale order for the Guild Shop in downtown Toronto, Canada. The Guild Shop is the retail outlet for the Ontario Crafts Council. I usually wholesale these scarves to this shop each Fall and have been doing so for many years now. I do weave many other things but this is the item that is viable to wholesale. I sometimes get a little bored weaving the same item, but the colours change often along the warp and this keeps it interesting. I usually try to dye the warps in a colour combination that will allow for different weft yarns to work with them, thus getting different looking scarves from one warp and one setup. I fringed and tagged most of the scarves last night. It makes a good t.v. watching activity and now I have about six more to weave, wash, lightly press, fringe, tag and stitch. I should make my deadline. Wish me luck with that!!
