These window hangings are the first project I wove on my new-to-me 8-shaft Harrisville 36"-wide floor loom. I worked out the design using a draft from the 8-Shaft pattern directory. These were woven in Valley Yarns 40/2 natural colored linen. I was originally planning to make table napkins - but they evolved into window hangings on dowel rods because they are at their best with light flooding through them. This project took me a bit longer to complete than my earlier projects mostly because I moved twice and changed jobs in the midst of working on them. They were, however, warmly received as Christmas presents in 2010.
