Completed tapestry weaving<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is my finished tapestry weaving! I wanted to make Scotty as the main focus so I started the weaving with a few rows of the background color, then began to implement the different colors for the Scotty design. I found that it was difficult to work with 3 or 4 different balls of yarn and often confusing to make sure that each row lined up correctly and balanced each color. The Scotty part came out much better than I expected, but it isn’t perfect. Making the Scotty, I used the interlocking weft techniques to have multiple colors and make the different diagonal lines. It was especially challenging in the ears because they were so small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Scotty, I experimented with doing vertical lines using the purple and red color. Then, I used the rya knots to make some fringe on the outer edges then did a few rows using the Swedish knot technique. This made an interesting texture and almost looked like a chain link. I followed up with more rya knots across the entire row and finished with a plain weave of red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish at the top, I used thread to sew it closed and tied knots in bunches of five. At the bottom, I tied knots in bunches of three and then tried to do the netting knots, but I found it hard to have balanced knots and they turned out a bit long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
