Can't stop weaving!

I am surrounded by little squares of woven sock wool! Weaving this on my Hazel Rose multi-loom. weaving with sock yarn is always a wonderful surprise, you just never know what kind of pattern you will get. The yarn below is Regia, Opal, and a couple of others that I can't remember the name of. These squares are 3.5" and I have a long way to go to before I can make anything from them.

These two squares are made from DK acrylic yarn, I used two strands and the resulting square comes out nice and firm. Love the colours on these two. These squares are woven on my 7" loom.


The James C Brett yarn is amazing! Never really gone for 100% acrylic but this stuff is fabulous. The different shades in each ball of yarn makes every square different. On the top here is the varigated blue, the middle is a fantastic colourway that would be great for an Autumn/Fall afghan.
And the bottom row is a slightly Springy colour way of pale mauves, green and brownish shades. I have only done 3 squares of each ball, and there are lots more colourways to come.

The 3 pictures below are also James C Brett Marble chunky.
Browns and Golds


Teal/Blue/Brown

Lilacs/Blues/ Greens





This yarn is King Cole Mirage DK in 50% wool and 50% acrylic, slightly fuzzy but weaves well on the multi-loom.
Can't stop, got some more weaving to do....
