Gauzy amber and billowy linen slowdancing with Malay Gingerflower, osmanthus tea, dianthus, white Tiare flowers, saffron crocus, and maile leaves swaying in a gentle sea breeze.

Wendy-Marie had a great idea for her Nevada County Inspired entry into this year's fair. Wheels of many sorts and sizes. Engine Wheels - Wagon Wheels - Pelton Wheels and Ferris Wheels. She also had the perfect draft - an 8 shaft combination of steep and point twills. Shown below are two variations. This is an easy draft to make larger if you have more than 8 shafts on your loom. And, ta da, the finished scarf. Wendy-Marie didn't get a prize for her scarf, but her idea was sure a prize winner and I bet it won't be the last time she weaves wheels!
