Navajo's 'Long Walk' in weave



After approximately 90 hours of weaving my first strip is complete. I have used two pieces of steel spaced out across the length of this strip, 176 cm X 13 cm. 

A mixture of cotton, silk and woollen yarns have been blended in mainly rich reds through to burnt oranges.

This strip is the most time consuming as I have woven with fine yarns at half centimetre spacing. 

Some texture has been incorporated by varying the thickness and number of yarn threads.

So far so good, I am very pleased with the result.
Now on to strip number two which will have more texture and rusty metal.
