This was a fun project, or three, depending on how you count. I shared a photograph of some yarn on Facebook, and asked people what the colours made them think of or feel.
The most common answer was “Joy”. So I wove three scarfs, each using the joy yarn for the weft, or side to side threads, and each using different kinds and colours of yarn for the warp, or lengthwise threads. Into each scarf is woven the word “Joy” in Morse Code. I used a single white thread to represent a dot, and a double thread to represent a dash.
