Pepper Me Pink
Pepper Me Pink is my 3-year-weaversary warp inspired by my very first handwoven warp, Peppermintpolka. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j2mldvP4zlw/W4uCCZCKOVI/AAAAAAAAAOM/6ZOfCGqxUCcXUUyZwIVcYupvx9dF7JWAwCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D)

I wanted to stay true to the original design, so against my usual preference for painted warp I skein dyed Lankava yarn house esito combed cotton to recreate the pinstripes and traditional gradient warp. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qpvYyOPWWc0/W4uCNXPKczI/AAAAAAAAAOk/QjnVhBVBcUoTdZFj9YtifRm3U3ETmaZUgCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D)

I’m quite pleased with how it turned out! Like the first one it’s only 10 meters and will yield two ring sling pieces / shawls and one wrap. On the original warp I had lots of loom waste so the wrap was very short and later converted to a ring sling. I’m expecting a 4.2m wrap to go with the sling pieces this time. ☺️![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rqGN22LKvgk/W4uCKLo5PvI/AAAAAAAAAOU/2rdPTo2GGogtzZnXLoysSCvevZWghtbTwCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D)
The first ring sling piece / shawl has my handspun weft spun from Shunklies Fibre Studio art batts. 50% merino, 40% silks, 10% glitter.

However after I suggested a regular skip weave to the semi custom clients both preferred that so that’s what I tied the treadles to.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mF1Wh7QrqhQ/W4uCRNoiYuI/AAAAAAAAAOw/aCPhQ3ZvjHoM8JRmaGChAnKSmGR_1l6AgCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D)
The next piece will be hand painted cashmere/cotton paired with tussah silk, can’t wait 😋

The original pattern options were herringbone/plaited twill/pebble variations as well as a skip weave version.

I think the last piece will be my handspun cheviot (with a bit of sari silk and glitter) plied with bockens linen but we’ll see.
