Egtved Progress.

Another week has flown past - but yes, there is some progress. Apart from some more spinning, the weaving bit of the corded skirt is finally finished, after a bit of a hiatus. But there's just so much spinning that I can comfortably do in a day...



So the corded part is woven. I had to spin a bit more after all, as there'll be some takeup when I'll be wet-finishing, and I only did the maths after spinning... of course. Duh. The corded bit is followed by a bit of plain band, which is also done, and the final finish is a braided bit. The latter might get slimmer in the original, so I'm planning to possibly un-braid again and finish it properly when I'm nearer the completion of the whole piece. For now, there is more cording to do; after that, I'm planning to give the whole thing its nice warm bath, then finish off the cords with the rings.

The bit you see in the picture, by the way, is all the two-ply loops drawn through that are waiting to be corded. Lots and lots of twisting coming up!
